BB still to act with 75bb

The math

GTO answer: Raise to 12bb

A9o with 12bb in the SB facing a UTG open at a final table. Flatting is a disaster because BB will squeeze you off the hand or you play OOP shortstacked. Folding is too tight, A9o has too much equity to muck. Jam 12bb. UTG's open range continues with maybe 15% (88+, ATs+, AJo+), you have 35-40% when called, and you pick up the 4bb pot a lot. The BB behind has a tight calling range against an SB jam plus original raiser. ICM-friendly aggression at the FT.
