I dont remember villians name but he is a regular and im pretty positive hes a 2p2 member. I dont think he knows I am though. So with that said, I know he is pushing extremely wide here because he believes I can only call with the top hands say JJ+, and maybe AQs+. So I can call, risk being itm, and pwn the bubble if i win orrr fold and cruise into the money b/c a majority of the table is at &lt;5bbs. What would you do in this situation?

Re: $16 Stars: AJ facing all in from 2p2 regular w/ even big stacks
 

If he is a good regular then he should be pushing a wide range here. If you have SNGPT or the like just plug it in there and play with the ranges.

I don't see how this wouldn't be a call tho.

My first thought is that this has to be a call. You're not even on the bubble if you assume the 1bb stack is dead already. I think you've got his range crushed badly enough to call here.

After plugging it manually into an ICM calculator (I do that from time to time), your stack is worth a bit over %50 more if you double up than it is right now. You need to be something like 65% against his range to call this.

What range is worse than 65% against AJo? Not much actually....so this might still be a fold.

AJo is 63.5% against ATC.

Ingame i call everytime against a known reg who doesnt know me. We push wide here, so i think you have to call wide, and its not like your stack is invincible now, its 200-400.

Why 65%? I understand and agree on his equity going up just over 50% if he wins here, but I don't how to get him needing to be 65% here.

Edit: Nvm. I figured it out.

It's neutral EV if he's pushing 22+,A2+,K8o+,K4s+,QTo+,Q9s+,JTs

I'm not quite sure he's pushing too much more than that.

Re: $16 Stars: AJ facing all in from 2p2 regular w/ even big stacks
 

Also, if I don't know someone is good, I'm not going to be pushing crap into you, because I don't trust you're not smart enough to fold what I need you to fold. That should weigh into your decision some.

You really think he's pushing this tight in a BvB spot? If he is a solid reg he should be pushing a lot wider than that.
