This is a hand from deep in the miniFTOPS. What i was thiniking here is [ and i think i'm wrong and misapplying this concept ] is that it's better to shove here and take their opportunity to re-shove me light and call with A9o. Nevertheless i think it's a mistake to shove here. the guy who called was really really tight so i think that against him i'm better of raise/folding and calling the small stakes on sb/bb. But i'm a bit confused about the whole concept of then it;'s better to just shove or raise -call. When it's unprofitable to raise-call and when it';s unprofitable to shove.

Can anyone explain this to me better?

Thank you.
