Default Re: What do I need to call big resteal button vs. BB

Ok...here's how I go about looking at this...lemme know if i have a fundamental error here.

It costs you 3675 to win a pot of 8495. so you need a holding that is 43% vs. his range.

What is his range? Well, he's certainly not short so he's not desperate. It's unlikely he is restealing here because of his stack size and because you have no image.

I'd say he has a strong, but not monster hand. He's not doing this with AA/KK because he'd only raise you, not shove. What would he shove with to pick up the 675 in the pot without a showdown? 77 - JJ, AJ+? Is that too tight?

If my range is ok, then pokerstove shows that a range of 44+,A5s+,K9s+,Q9s+,JTs,ATo+,KTo+,QTo+ would be have 43.64% equity.

This seems way too wide for me but then again, I don't win as much as you. Interested to hear what your range should be.
