This was my last hand from my very first tournament, so Iit would be great if you could check it !

800 person tournament, final 40.
($100 freeroll though, for practice, so low level obv)

1,200 blinds, 100 ante

My understanding is that the final stage is when you have less than 15 bb.

I wasn't sure how to include Ante, but I guessed the whole concept is about how many more hands you can afford, so I did this:
Final stage limit = 9 max table*ante + 15 bb = 9*100 + 15*1200 = 18 900.

Then, in the final stage, you either go all in or fold.
I had been following MSS, and 99 is in the raising chart, so I shoved.

Is this good play, or should you be tighter when shoving?

Thanks!
Money.

Hi all,

It looks fine. Antes are pretty big so raise/folding is out of the question. We can minraise/call all-in but here I feel people are going to flat us too often.
