Snapcall, getting way too good odds. Buttons range is so wide, and the smallblind prolly knows this.
Furthermore stacks are really shallow and you need to accumulate some chips soon, this is the perfect spot.

yeah, I instacall. obv buttons range is HUGE and SBs range is only slightly less huge. there are only a couple of hands you hate for them to have. Worst case you are up an underpair from one of them, but with the odds you are getting that is not even that bad of a scenario.

Yeah pretty hard to come up with tight enough ranges where getting it in with AQ isn't a great result here. Calling AJ atleast here.

snap call, of course I had AK in this same setup earlier vs A9 and KQs and the Button(A9) rivered his 9....

Oh well....

Alright, I did call and ended up splitting with SB's AQ...
What is the calling range in this hand, though? A8s+, AT, 22+?

For me 77+ and the rest of what you list.... Subject to my stats on the other two that will alter the range.
