Villian is solid multitabler. What's his range? Am i ahead of his range?
Hes not pushing any two, but hes not being picky either...

He has to push around 30-35% of all hands for you to make this call. I would say this is a pretty borderline situation, but I will probably fold.

UTG is pushing a WIDE range of hands here. I'd say at least top 30% (50% would be +EV too here).

Using SNG-PT... Against top 30% you re-push with 44+,A8o+,A7s+,KQs (13%). A8o is marginally good, especially since one of the big stacks could make a loose call here hoping to knock out both players with decent odds.

Tough situation. Any reads on the big stacks? The tighter they've been playing, the more I like the re-push.
