Come discuss this in the IRC Chat Room, everyone is welcome except iopq because he's gay.
Hmm... I read this and honestly don't really know how to figure it out, and since all I see in chat when I'm in there is non-poker related chat (but I don't go in very often)... I'm going to put some thoughts down and let you guys tell me I'm out in left field.

Ok, so SB has a 20% range for his open shoves, according to stove means 66+,A4s+,K8s+,Q9s+,J9s+,T9s,A9o+,KTo+,QTo+,JTo... now I doubt that range a little and would probably modify it some... say any pair, A9s+, KT+, ATo+, maybe QT+, suited connectors to 98.

I still think that might be a little wide, but that is a range to start with at least. Now... we have T9s. So we're behind the pairs, the highers SCs and probably behind a bit with AQ+, KQ+, probably on roughly equal footing with the rest of the range...

(I'm at work so I don't have time to stove it all).

So we are pretty well behind a fair amount of his range. We have to put in our stack to call to double up... so that means we have to win at least 1 out of 3 times or better to break even, or 33% of the time... of which we are behind a fair amount of his range...

I think the answer is false, without the time to do the math I don't think we are ahead of enough of his range to make it profitable... but then again, I'm not that good at the math as I am a casual player who hasn't taken the time to expand his game much...
