T$ builder (…) with A9s
Somewhere ITM, not an FT bubble. I just lost a hand and I’m 5bb, it’s not super low cause of the agv stack level around 12bb. Guy UTG min raises with 10bb. Im on BB with A9s. I know I’m behind, should I jam because of S and blinds side value (50% of my stack)?

I think a jam is probably going to be +EV. Is UTG opening tight? Even so, if we include some looser hands, we're probably looking at somewhere between 30 to 38% perhaps - if they call off with 66/77/88 for example or KJs, KQs.
We can also factor in that we have some fold equity, so I'd say jam UNLESS you are confident that they are only opening super tight.
If you're that sure you're behind pre, you can always defend and stop-and-go the flop.
I used to to gii always because of being short and all, now I’m rethinking these spots a lot cause whenever I manage to ship some tournament, I recall that at some point I was like 0.8bb and then managed to resurrect so 5bb is not a death sentence yet, especially given the short structure of this TS thing. Here is the hand with context
he was actually 12bb pre, I remembered it wrong - it was late, so it was a jam, I swear I misread his stack size and thought he was 10bb, leaving him 8bb after his open and that’s what influenced my decision. Also notice that aside from this SB guy with 40bb which is a sign of maniacal play in TS, rest of stacks are below 10bb
