This is the SB's 2nd hand, complete unknown.

.75/1.5 (3-handed)

BTN (360) raises to 3, SB instashoves 200, Hero (410)...

What should my calling range be?

AA/KK

AK, QQ+ I think.

I don't see why we would call with AK, I think QQ+ sounds right, I might fold QQ not sure

Really tight now.

If he's wild and crazy, you are going to see that and get a chance to make a +EV call later with many holdings.

I know this comes at an opportunity cost (BTN might call and stack him now), but it's worth it, because you really are not passing up a huge edge.

To put it another way, you are risking passing on a decent edge (say +10%) with a lot of marginal hands like 88 or A[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]T[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] or whatever, because you don't yet know if SB is wild and crazy, or if SB is just stupid (ZOMG AA MUST GO ALL IN).

Cause AK is the nuts man. Nah, AK is probably a fold since the times this is a retard move it's often with a small pp. Don't think calling with AK is very -EV tho.
