$60: AQ bvb lvl 3
 

Villain was 24/12. Seemed like a fairly good regular but it's a pretty big repush.

I'm instacalling this and watching opp show you something that you're at least 60/40 favourite against.

Re: $60: AQ bvb lvl 3
 

I call this BvB. Your stack can handle this comfortably if you lose. If you win you cruise to ITM.

Re: $60: AQ bvb lvl 3
 

I'm calling it. You can almost certainly discount AA and KK from his range and probably QQ, which gives you a little more equity.

i'm callling. 24/12 is very aggro for full table stats. a lot of us nits are 13/7 full table. so he plays/raises twice as much as a lot of us.

This is a hand where one of those silly stove/wiz whatever things might help (I don't have these, sorry).

Put in a range of 88-JJ, AK, AQ (I think you'll see these hands a lot) and a bit lighter weight of QQ and a lighter weight even of 66-77, AA and you probably have your range.

A 24/12 definitely shoves with lighter aces. If he was a little deeper I could fold but with anything less than 30 bb's I'm callling bvb.

Re: $60: AQ bvb lvl 3
 

His PokerAce stats really have nothing to do with his shoving range here. I mean if he was 40/30 then yeah, it might. Just because someone is 24/12 doesn't mean they're spewy.

Since only one of the hands that has us dominated makes this play often I think we can make this call purely b/c of risk vs reward. we call and lose and have 2100 chips a very comfortable stack. we call and win and we have 4700 nearly twice that of the player in second.

Well his stats show that he doesn't follow typical 2+2 strategy. Most unknowns shove a wider range than your typical smart player. AT and AJ are definitely in his range and I think lower aces are in there a percentage of the time.
