curtains' hand #13 (bubble)

[z32fanatic]

Without reading or doing any SNGPT, I call with A4s and 22 (even though I cringe), and fold QJs I think. I'm not sure if it's +EV, but I put his range on 22+,A2+,K7+,Q9+,J7+,T8+,98s.

While playing this hand I remember thinking it was a pretty close decision. I thought it was more likely he would be looser than normal than tighter than normal, especially as small stack with just over 3x the BB and facing the BB next hand.

That would be v loose IMO. However, this situation probably needs to involve some blind discounting or something to properly assess the pusher's optimal range and options.

He has 3.5BB left and will be the blind next. if he doesnt get a calling hand as bb, he should be calling any 2 as sb.

instead of calling, push now with a wide range while you have some FE left.

kinda like a modified PVS's line of push Any 2 at first opportunity if you're below 5BB.

edit:
I ran SnGPT. If both big stacks are calling with Top22% (pair, Ax, KT+, QJs) and Hero is calling with Top15% (33+,A7o+,A4s+,KTs+), then it would be +EV for CO to push Top13% (44+,A8o+,A7s+). WOW! I would have thought it would be ALOT looser than top13% since he's going to post the blinds next.

Edit2:
Ran SnGPT for Hero. If he puts CO as pushing top40%, then he should call with top26% (22+,A2+,K9o+,K8s+,QJs). so all 3 of the hands you listed is a call. and all 3 is a call if it's top67%. if you put him on top30%, then only A4s is a call.

Intutitively I think A4s only and maybe 22...In BB I would obviously call all 3.

[Austiger]

I'm definitely calling 22. I'm calling A4 as well. I'm folding QJ.

Villain could be raising any 2 here. With the BB coming he knows it's either this hand pushing or next hand calling so he's probably at least pushing top 50%.

[Kn0wClue]

is it bad that i only call with a4s and qjs and fold the 22?

[DCJ311]

a4s almsot always... QJs player dependent, and 22 is brutal but I'm about as likely to call as I am the QJs.
