I don't believe in SAGE. The problem it doesn't take into account is that you only need it when you are running cold. So obviously, when you press all in with KJs, your opponent will infallibly have A2o. Eat that Ferguson.

Shoving KJ and running into A2 is not a good example. You should absolutely be shoving KJ when sage is applicable with stack sizes. Most people fold too many hands with 10 bb or less stack sizes and sage exploits this common weakness.

You can obviously adapt your shoving ranges slightly to those who call or fold too often. Having KJ run into A2 with a 10 bb or less stack is not the end of the world.

I will say that using the sage system for calling ranges against people who aren't using sage or aren't even playing push/fold is probably a mistake. It's good when people are shoving often, but if villain is only shoving 10% of the time with a 7 bb stack then using the sage calling range is obviously a mistake (using sage you would call with 30 points / hands like: J6s).
