As a member of the 55-60 demographic let me shed some light on our range for opening a pot from the hijack in this situation.
But first, this is NOT an "old man". 55-60 represents the prime of our lives, the time when our experience allows us to know how to go about things and our age doesn"t prevent us from continuing to do them. 55-60 old? pffftttt!!!!
I"m going to assume that the table generally is competent. I"m also thinking that 20BB may well be pretty close to average?
I"m opening Ax suited, A8o+, any pair, most suited connectors from 89 upwards, suited one gappers from J9 upwards and any two broadway cards. Effectively I"d be raising at least 25% of the time. Possibly as high as 30, (with an above average stack I"d be opening pretty much 100%) but let""s stick with 25% for now.
I"m folding a chunk of that 25% to the shove and although Rodder"s range for calling looks about right, I"d be closer to this without reads or game flow to work on

So, 3 times in 4 I fold to the shove and you increase your stack by around 25% with blinds and antes. (assumes that the three players still to act all fold.... we don"t know the distribution of stacks around the table so that may not happen)
Once in 4 you get called and are 43% to double up, plus a bit.
The likely actions of the three players still to act on a 7 handed table have to be considered but I don"t think shoving can be bad here vs me, a 55-60 yr "old man", but it feels close...
Probably Shove>Fold>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>flat call
btw - if I do have to fold this time don"t assume that I"m tightening up when I open-shove next time I get this spot...
