Villain had opened alot of pots with 3x bets, have also seen him do this in other tournaments with a very wide opening range. I'd been playing pretty solid and he'd raised my BB the last 2 orbits before this. I'm happy that 55 is ahead of alot of his opening range here, but it's not a hand I want to play out of position. My thoughts - a call and I'm set mining and a raise is going to be committing 1/4 of my chips to the pot which is why I opted to shove.
Given stack sizes (I'm playing 24BB's at this point, so have plenty of scope to wait for better spots), is this a fold, is there another line here or is the shove right?

I would question whether you think he's aware of position at the table, though. Most players open a considerably tighter range from UTG+1 than from the button, say. It's definitely high variance to shove 24BB here.
I do this sort of thing myself occasionally, only against someone that I've seen open every hand and fold to lots of 3-bets though. There's 19% of your stack in the middle, so it doesn't have to get through that frequently to be profitable and when you're called you're going to be flipping alot of the time. The numbers say it should be a +EV move if you pick your opponent well. You need to be aware of the image it will give you and the dynamic it will set up at the table.
I'm just not sure I'd like doing it against an UTG+1 player but if you think he's not aware of position and can find the fold button...
@ IDCU - He will get called by worse sometimes, granted it will mean him flipping, but flipping as a favourite and more often than not he'll probably just pick up the 2250 uncontested against a wide opener.
needless flip at best
prefer 3/b fold
flame away )
think it's very close if you shove or fold if that's what you prefer -
when called your racing at best -
with that stack probbaly find a fold - but still prefer 3/b fold)
but all depends if oppo been folding to 3 bet's or what - also depends if you have 3 bet oppo before and what happened -what does oppo call 3bets with IP - lalalalalalalalala
dont' hate the shove, but it's not a great spot )
If your shoving this spot you want his calling range to be narrow, giving you more fold equiity. 10's+ AK for example
you need to fold out pairs /> 6 < 9 + AQ/AJ
oppo raising range has to be very wide & often for you to shove this spot, if that's your read then ok ul bad timing but it's just not a great spot
your stack size without antes is a very nice stack size, 8's+ AJ+ you can happily ship here imo
still think 3 b/f is an option - no one feels the same ?
