Re: Nitty half-stack open shoves over EP PFR - calling range? (100nl)
Assuming you have no immediate history of the guy shoving or doing anything else wacky...
The guy is an 11/4. First time around, I'd tighten to AA/KK, because you'll see AA/KK like 75% of the time, QQ/AK the other 20%, and random garbage 5% of the time. Your range has to be tighter than his to make a profit, and the majority of plays like this from mice or rocks is a monster. Also, the half-stack an 11/4 has is designed to make a call look more enticing.
Loosen the villain's PFR up and you can expand your range to {QQ+, AK} or looser. Also, if the guy keeps doing it over and over a few times, loosen up again to something like {TT+, AJs+, AQo+} or looser. Often times you'll just see him do it once and never again, which says he was just screwing around with a monster {KK+} and trying to get a donkey to call him with {22+, ATs+, AJo+, KQo, KQs}
