Chipleaders Clash 4-left. $12/180 FT

[Wish]

Easy call. UTG=CO 4 handed, and if anything he's going to be raising lighter than he normally would in the CO spot. With effective stacks of 14 BB villain is shoving any hand he's playing. The "tight" range you assign is not tight, it's preposterously nittish. He's likely open shoving any pair, most aces, many kings, any two broadway and decent suited connectors. Perhaps wider than that. Some villains will be bullying the table shoving top 70% or so (and you've already described him as aggressive), figuring that people more worried about moving up from 4th to 3rd than playing good, aggressive poker will be folding better hands to this raise (though I doubt in villain's wildest dreams he thinks he's going to get somebody holding AK to fold preflop).

This isn't quite as super obvious unbelievably insta-snap call as it seems because cEV & $EV have diverged hugely if you need to win 57% of the time. But it's still an easy call because he's shoving so wide & thus your probably >60% favourite

if you take more than 1 second to call you are horrible at poker.

I spend a lot of time at these 180 final tables...they are mostly autopilot spots...think all you want but my suggestion is based upon many many many hours of experience...you all love to run numbers but folding in this spot is just silly unless the extra couple of dollars is important to you

Thank you. I've been playing them lots lately, and with fair success. I joined this board to improve, so i really value your input and would like to hear from you on my future posts.
