This is hard for me to explain. I just felt like I had the better hand if I was going to call I guess a little instinct. My reads whats around the AT-AK range but hadn't really seen any of his hands.

My initial instinct is fold but if I had a good enough read on the villain to make a call here I might.

BTW sorry for the wack reads I give in the post. I am really working hard on trying to establish accurate ranges on opponents.

The tighter he's pushing, the better a fold is, and vice versa.

I would just label him loose or tight, and go with the corresponding action.

I get that part of it more like what hands they are holding but still waiting for more responses.

Kind of depends if Villain here is good enough to isolate shorty with less-than-premium hands like KJo for example, and worse. If thats so, I would call.

I think this is a clear fold, he has to be shoving quite wider here. Just fold you still have a good stack to work with.

id probably just throw it away unless i had a read that he was loose/donkish...hes not going to be isolating with just the bb behind with a terribly wide range, which just thrusts his range into more of the value-shoving range. its close at this level i would think, but id fold.

CFalls · #9 11-24-2007, 06:24 AM

Would almost assure that he's pushing a low-mid pair to try to iso. I just don't see AK in his range here for a re-shove.

It depends on how he plays (read/stats), but I think SB shoves wide enough to call.
UTG is desperate, so he will shove really wide.
Therefore SB can shove over pretty wide also.
At least with high aces, medium pairs and KQ, so around A8+, 66+, KQ+, depending a bit on his style.
I think it's a call then, but I have not used a ICM calculator.
