Default Re: Calling range for opponent who has gone all in first 4 hands in a

[ QUOTE ]
Say he tells you that he will push all in for 10 hands only and play normally the rest .

In order to give an idea of what to call with , you have to estimate the chances that you would win when you're down 1.5*5 = 7.5 BB's . If you guess that you should win 58% of the time , then this means you should call with any hand that has an equity > 58% .

Im probably misunderstanding you but this does not make sense to me. If im down 7.5 BB against an opponent who is of equal skill level then I will win less than 50% of the time. Im not calling with hands that have less than 50% equity against a random hand. Intuitivly I think that I will have to loosen my calling range over the range you suggested for an opponent who will go all in the whole match, if I think there is a chance that he will only go all in for only the first 5, 10, or 20 hands. Im just not sure how to quantify it. Thanks for your help
