Tough big blind defend spot
So I’m cruising along in an ACR tourney. 4th overall in chips with 98bb. The player to my left (UTG in this hand) has been fairly wild with their opening ranges and 3bets (31 VPIP; 13 3B). I’ve seen them open UTG as wide as 76o. So that leads us to this spot where I think we can reasonably defend this wide against that range. I think I wouldn’t change anything about this hand until the river (but I’m open to input). It’s a tricky river spot. We’ve come this far: should we be calling?

min-raise from an UTG player thats playing very wide is totally fine to defend against with a hand like 96s. And then on this runout is seems like a fairly standard call down line.

I’d be inclined to call down as played.
I can be a bit of a nit and may have decided to dance with the villain only when I had position – everything else I would play tight against these guys they show up with the most random 2 pair hands.
I do wonder when OOP here what would happen if you take the initiative away at some point in the hand.
