    It's a pretty massive shove by oppo at this stage of MTT but tbh that makes it looks even more like a bluff or semi-bluff as in here so got be a call.

    Good thing is you still have 34bbs when you lose lol

    No its a clear fold :)

    I raise bigger pre simply for value, as long as button doesnt come along we still have position post.

    Tonne of worse hands do this, we have a monster stack when we hold.  UL.

    Raise pre is fine, shorty has 8bbs behind, plus we don't want to scare worse hands from calling OOP, raising more might have scared 97 here for example.

    As said, not about scaring, its about standardising our play/value.  People love to call.  Only playing our hand vs SB here, keeping our raise to what our choice of bet would be with a limper in ordinary pot.
