another 99 spot - is this always a shove?

Well you obv make £50 by folding, and more than likely £100, looking at the stack sizes, so not an obv shove at all. It all boils down to whether that £100 is important to you or not, if it is fold, if not then shove.

Beano min-raised UTG from a 20x stack with some pretty big stacks to get through - sign of uber-strength?  Monster stack has flat called. In the BB, I think a call is probably ok here, but never shoving with those two micro stacks..... it"s not about whether the extra £100 ladder is important or not - shoving into the UTG raiser"s range is simply -EV, especially with the table stacks as they are.     Naturally this is without any reads, tendencies, or history, etc.

I think AnGel missed a trick here - if he shoves, Beano (and those still to act) must surely fold all but the top 5% hands

I"m with Steve on this one. Happy to call here. Only 4k out of an 80k stack and 2 big stacks in the hand so if you hit your set you"ve a decent chance of getting paid. Obviously depends on other reads and other players tendencies but with the 2 tiny stacks still left chances are you really don"t want a call if you shove. Better spots imo.

Though it is a really great spot for AnGel to ICM abuse by shoving, Beano would need TT+AKs about top 2.6% to make a mathematically correct call. Problem is, all that assumes Beano understands he needs to be super strong to call and that Angel understands the awesome potential for abusing.

thanks for the replies - I actually did flat call when I would normally shove. The thought of busting out before the micro stacks was too much to bear thinking about. I missed my 9, folded flop and went onto finish 4th, which wasn"t too bad
