huh? Of course I think they are calling 99+, whether it's correct or not against our range, I'm not so sure.

crap, i had to refresh the stack sizes. you are probably right, but I still hate it.

You hate calling with 99?

I hate being called by 99.

Yeah I hate being called by 88 too. btw I wouldn't be completely shocked if someone folded 88 to a push (and they probably should against what our range will be here.) I suppose there is also some possibility of someone folding 99 but I'd be surprised. However it's above 0 chance, people play very strangely in these spots.

Sure, its above 0 chance.

We have the button and blinds to act after us, right? And they all have us covered but its going to be somewhere between 30-50% of their stack to call. Do players who have survived flipaments for two days take one here? Real life behaviour is often, as you've pointed out, very different from ideal play. I still think there is a big gap concept at work on this kind of shove. The guy in the SB or BB with a healthy stack sure wants to keep it that way going into the FT...
