[$160 Caesars Palace Daily] BB shove to pick up dead money? Or see a flop?
Playing a daily at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas. We just went past the break and I did a $50 add-on to give me $15k more in chips.
Only two tables in the tourney, and I have been at the same seat since it started.
Play was very passive all around - lots of preflop limping even as the blinds started going up.
In the Big Blind at the $2,000/4,000/4,000 level with $70k. There are four limpers and the SB completes. I am slightly above average (the table has a huge chip-leader who has been running like a deity and everyone else is kinda close); I cover some of the table and would take a big chunk from those I didn't cover if we battled and I won (except the deity, of course).
I wake up with T♥9♥.
I can either tap the table and see if my suited connector connects or shove into probably not very strong holdings with a ton of dead money.
I shove.
Thoughts?

Shove should be fine. Suited broadways and sometimes even T9s J9s do well as huge multiway jams. For example if CO raises and BTN flats, its actually a mistake to not jam JTs from BB for 50bb. Should work similarly in limped pots, especially if you think their range is unbalanced towards weaker hands. The deeper it is, the better it is to jam for hands like JTs or T9s here.
