gingerwizard is an unknown quantity at this point
PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em, $6.00+$0.50 Tournament, 75/150 Blinds (4 handed) - Poker-Stars Converter Tool from
Shove back.

Button knows what he's doing and UTG has luckbox godmoded to huge stack. He's seemed weak though and has folded in blind battles with UTG a couple of times after raising a limp and folding to a shove.

Wiz says this is a shove assuming he opens 25% and calls about 13%. Is that reasonable?

FlopTurnRiver.com

Button (t1180)
SB (t1450)
Hero (BB) (t2085)
UTG (t8785)

Hero's M: 9.27

Preflop: Hero is BB with Q, 9
1 fold, Button raises to t450, 1 fold Hero?
This is not my signature. I just write this at the bottom of every post.

I always get quite worried when players raise 40% of their stack preflop, I don't think you have any fold equity in this case and he isn't raising anything that you're ahead of. Easy fold - particularly as the second stack on the bubble.

I agree with taipan. When someone does this, it is often a monster hand wanting somebody to push over.
