The flip side of dominating the bubble

[adanthar]

This is from today's 20K Guaranteed rebuy. With 1K/2K blinds, I have 14K in MP1, but the table is short and only the blinds and UTG+1 (who's got 60K but has been playing far too tight) have me covered.

55 people are left; the tournament pays 50, but it's $180 for 50'th, 328 for 10'th (!) and 8K for first.

UTG+1 now opens for 6K. He has been playing tight enough so that this is probably something like AA-99, AK-AQ. What is the minimum hand you need to push over him in order to be +$EV?

What if he is opening AA-22, any ace, any two Broadway, and suited connectors down to 76s?
