He is DEFINITELY shoving any 2 in this spot.

Any Ace, King, Q7+ or so, J9+ or so.

?? Am i doing this wrong? There are 10*100 in antes plus the 5025 Bax puts in plus the 800 for big blind which equals 6825. So we have to call 5025 - 800 = 4225. 6825/4225= 1.615385:1, which means we need roughly 38% equity. Even hes pushing only 30% of hands a calling range of any two cards has 38% of equity, so how can we not be calling ATC if he is pushing 100%?

[/ QUOTE ]


Your entire range is 38% against his range, but ok not each individual hand. You are really confused, somehow thinking that because the range as a whole is 38% against his, that you should call with every hand in the range. At least that's how I'm reading it and unfortunately it makes no logical sense.

Yea you read it right. I was just being stupid. Disregard.

He is pushing ATC, so you can call with 92o, 72s, 74o, 43s, or better. I would probably call considerably tighter, because I want to pushbot my short stack. I would probably call with top 65% hands.

You can really call 74o and 92o? Is that really correct? Ofc I haven't done any math just seems especially loose, even with antes.

Wow my math is bad I thought 74o had a bit worse equity than that against random hand.

It is cEV+, but as you know, I attach some value to surviving with a small stack. If you call with these hands, it is 60% you go bust. Of course, if you win, you have a restealing stack, which may be valuable at this table.

I think this is a spot where you shouldn't be taking a 0EV or even a slightly +EV gamble. (I guess it kinda relates to Betgo's redzone theory.) Especially if this is a tight table, it's easy to imagine folding in this spot and doubling your stack through uncalled pushes within the next orbit. You miss out on this chance 60% of the time if you call here with a poor hand. You also miss out on the chance of a premium hand.

On the other hand, if there is plenty of blind stealing at the table then maybe it is worth taking a slightly -EV gamble to get a restealing stack. But, unless the table is super tough, holding on to your small stealing stack will be better.

I was wondering if there's any way to do maths to work out the value of possible later +EV opportunities but it seems too complex.
