FTP $24 - do we shove?

[alex-star]

The BB is a regular, a solid winning player. SB is about 25/10 over 30 hands. What do we do?

Am I leaking folding 55 here?

99 is a monster. 22 is close but probably a push with your reads.

Pairs 66 and lower are losers if they call perfectly, or for that matter, too loosely. They've got to be crazy tight to get 22-44 into a pushing range, and as the pushing range extends towards those pairs the calling range gets (correctly) bigger. Even if only BB calls correctly, I think 55/66 is going to be awfully borderline.

All that said, shoving 99 is a no-brainer.

I always thought you shoved a lot looser into me :-). Btw, I was loading a set last night and avoided you in the 22s, you're welcome.

no way pushing 66 is -EV if they call perfectly.
