SB (t6571)
Hero (t1811)

Preflop: Hero is in BB with Xx Xx
<font color="gray">CO folds</font>, <font color="red">Button raises to t1640 (All-in)</font>, <font color="gray">SB folds</font>, Hero ????????

Pretty sure this is a spot i play bad so thought i'd finally paste a hand. So blinds are getting big and two of us are fighting not to bubble. If i fold this hand i will be left with ~1200 chips and no FE vs 6500, 3400 and 2700.

If i spite call here and i lose im basically dead, but if i double i'm now level with the 2nd place stack and since i play better than them at pushbot - in pretty good shape.

So what do people call with here? What do people fold?

Fwiw i know nothing about him, hes a random to me but i would imagine he is pushing a reasonable range here.

Re: You dare push into MY blind?!
 

I like a call with about top 50%

Re: You dare push into MY blind?!
 

You are really screwed if you fold this, i'd call about top 60%.

Re: You dare push into MY blind?!
 

If you fold you're going to have to win 2-3 hands to get ITM vs. just this 1 hand here.

Re: You dare push into MY blind?!
 

I don't think you need to call too light here. There is another shorty who might f-up yet.

The other shorty is going to have 2740 if hero folds. He still might screw up, but he will no longer be very short. Hero will have 1161 if he folds.

Yeah I am calling here with a lot of hands.

I would say top 50%

Re: You dare push into MY blind?!
 

Okay, can someone please explain Top 50% and Top 60%?

Also, wouldn't you expect the guy who is all in to have at least an one Ace (even if it's Ace-3). I ran into that situation myself, but luckily I had Ace-Ten and survived just by the kicker.

Re: You dare push into MY blind?!
 

maybe this is a leak, but I would call really light here, any A, K, Q, J, and any two card above 6. of course, any PP.

Re: You dare push into MY blind?!
 

what range do you consider reasonable ?

22+,A2s+,A3o+,KTs+,KJo+,QJs ?

if that then

22+,A2+,K9o+,K2s+,Q8o+,Q4s+,J8o+,J4s+,T7o+,T4s+,97 o+,95s+,86o+,84s+,76o,74s+,64s+,54s

Re: You dare push into MY blind?!
 

I don't really know what to make of a "random" player at this stage, but I imagine your calling range should be "wider than you think" at this blind level.

See if this helps...
range info

Re: You dare push into MY blind?!
 

I'm calling here with like 60-70% of hands, i was worried it might be too loose. Apparently its probably fine.

In the actual hand i had Q3h and snapcalled, and i got berated in chat for instacalling - but it did get me thinking about what my actual range here should be. Sounds like i'm probably calling with a fairly decent range though.

Re: You dare push into MY blind?!
 

I assume you were berated because you eliminated him? Haha.

I snapcall a crapton of hands here. Qx suited is probably the lowest of the range I'd go.

no he had KQ and won, i think the comment was something like 'lol instacall with that junk, you deserve to lose'

I was pretty sure i call with worse hands though, and couldn't decide where i should be drawing the line between calling/folding.

Re: You dare push into MY blind?!
 

Well obviously something like 94o should be folded, lol. But you still gave yourself a chance with Q3s.

Re: You dare push into MY blind?!
