1. I'd actually give this guy the least credit - this is the most ridiculous move to me. I've seen villains do this with medium pocket pairs - they're afraid to play these postflop and would rather take your PF raise, feeling entitled to something with their 77's and 88's. Sometimes it's KK and you look like an idiot - that's poker. It's also such a weird raise that there's a non-zero chance you have some fold equity with the shove - it would be a different story if villain raised to 750.

Range: 99+, AJ+

2. I'd like to say I play tighter first hand than if they do it later, but in reality:

Range: TT+, AQ+

3. I think this line shows the most strength on average.

Range I'd like to have: QQ+, AK
Range in practice: TT+, AQ+
