What is UTG's range for hand1? Anyone pay attention to his stack and his raise size? Do you assume that the second caller in the hand hasn't paid attention to his raise size as well?

What are you alluding to here?

He's alluding to the fact that the UTG+1 raiser has a small stack and that the SB just cold called OOP, instead of folding/raising.

However, I still think this is a pretty clear push since:
a) the table is 6-handed, meaning UTG+1 is basically = hijack
b) UTG+1 has 17 BBs, which is certainly big enough to raise/fold.
c) He raises like 2.3xBB here, which isn't horribly unusual at a later stage.

I'm not giving him credit for having a real hand here without a read/tight PT stats.

The same with SB; he's got a huge stack, and you see a lot of loose calls here. I don't think there's a good enough argument for giving him a monster either.

In short, ship it in, you have FE, and you're not hugely behind a calling range (around 40/60).

Yeah, thanks soulman, this is what I was alluding to. I don't like over-posting, but I overthought the problem too much. Maybe it's a leak in my game, but I overplay 77-88; AJ with this stack a little too much. At least I learned something [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img].
