Recent study proves ratholers have no life

[Colms]

Just doing some work in pokertracker and poker stove today trying to refine my range against a specific ratholer(trickysarahlolo - no, its not funny). I know that her specific pushing range against a standard raise is 77-JJ, AQ+. (She just calls with AA-QQ) So against her range, the following range has atleast 50% equity: 88+, ATs+, KTs+, QTs+, JTs, AQo+, KQo+. Is this an accurate hand range I could call her 3 bets all in with or should I be looking for a higher % equity? I figure if I have 50% equity against her range the +EV will come from the dead money in the pot. Am I doing this right?

you should check each hand against her range.

I.e. does 88 have more than the ~40% required. If the answer is yes, call with it. You shouldn't create a range that has 50% equity against her range.

You should be willing to call with some hands that have less than 50% equity if the dead money justifies it. For example if she has a 15bb stack and you open from CO for 3.5bb's and she shoves from button, you need to call 11.5bb's to win a 31.5 bb pot, so you only need about 37% equity or more to justify calling.

If you want to play optimally against her you'll have to tighten up your opening range, or else you'll consistently be getting into situations like the one above where you're behind her range but have to call anyways. The reason shortstacks make money is because people don't adjust their opening ranges and end up being priced in to call the push as a dog.

yep, shortstackers ruin games.

lol that short staker is awful.
also, stop raising to 3.5bb vs shorties, make it a min raise or 2.5bb helps.

The range of AA, 32s is also over 50% against her. Silly.

Pretty sure a minraise is half their stack, amirite?

Stop raising 25+% of your hands from the button with a competent shortstack in the blinds.
