I dislike pre a lot, but as played, if we call flop and turn, then I dnt think we can ever fold river. Folding pre seems like a better option tho...

You are seriously not going to call a min raise from the big bling with 89s versus a big stack?
I am calling for the draws ahead of hitting the naked 8 or 9 but it feels like a great starting spot to me.

I think defending can be ok w/ this stack size in some situations, but not vs a strong range from a min by utg+1. The reason for this is, when you say you are not calling to hit an 8 or a 9, we are forced to stack off on a lot of 1p flops w/ our stack size, and I dnt like this vs his supposed hand strength.

Even if it"s theoretically incorrect, I would imagine 90%+ of players would not fold pre because this is live tournament poker. Don"t think I would find a fold pre, but then again I find folding hard to do

Surely given the perceived strength and narrowish range of the raiser, 89s is a great hand to defend with... it plays the flop so well most of the time, and the implied odds in this instance are excellent.

Implied value goes way down when you start hands less than around 50bbs. IMO less than 50bbs is to big % of your stack to defend oop. And also you are heads up, which means there is even less value. I personally find, Suited connectores and small pairs in multiway pots are much better. And like open raising if im H/J, C/O, OTB and preferbly with more than 50bbs .

This would def be true if we were deeper, but it doesnt really apply this shallow.
