SnG STT review - 89s from BB

So the call preflop seems good to me. Being out of position vs an agressive player postflop check-calling seems a good strategy. Calling this bet size could be a difficult decision but against an agressive player i call and evaluate turn. On river you don't win much with that shove, he calls only with better hands than yours. Here i think you can bet between 1/3 or 1/2, if he shoves you have an easy fold and it allows him to call with Kxs, Jx.....

Everything looks standard except the river. If you want to have some value a half pot bet is big enough. Now you are changing your hand in a bluff and it’s already tough enough for him to have to many better hands and makes a shove useless.

Pre and versus such player it's ok to defend here.

It would also be good to know his Post Flop Aggression Factor.

OTF i like the check/call line, and I think the check/raise would be a bit of an overkill here with so low blinds and so low stakes.

Hand wise it might be right, tournament equity wise does not sound attractive to me at this stage.

OTT, you have already mentioned that it's an issue. We are turning our hand to a bluff and allowing that if we are unlucky and he has an 3x we pay him off big time. I think I prefer bet 1/2 or 2/3 and fold to a big raise.
