Deep in a PSKO. Knockout is worth around $4 on BB. Corrent payouts: $7.

SB: 26/13 on 42 hands. 3-bet: 6,3.

Is it okay to openshove with 17bb in this spot? Or should I raise/fold to SB?

Interesting dynamic with the bounty of the SB. In a normal tournament I would always min raise/fold against SB here, but with the bounty in it a push is most likely better to get it HU with the BB that will call often your shove.

you have 17bb left, how many people are left? how many are paid?,

IMO , a shove is probably best in this spot, simply because of the bounty.

5528 entries, 720 paid and 174 left (corrent payjumps: $0,5 every 8th bust)

I shoved because of the bounty on BB. I dont want to raise/call SB ever. Normally I dont like to openshove for 17bb either, and I (ofcourse) dont expect to get called by SB with anything worse. I simply shoved because of the BB bounty and I didnt want to see a over shove from SB if I raised, but I wasnt completely sure if my reasoning was good enough. Thanks for the advice guys :f_drink:

I openshove here too. If SB is not tricky to 3b bluff and exploit us, we can openraise/fold too.

openshove here seems really standard imo. And, of course, prevents us from a resteal.
