OK this was a spite call ... but running it through SNGPT shows it's +0.5%. I'm not sure I could do it again though. How much ROI do I lose by restricting my calling range to 88+, AJs+, AQo+ ?

Don't make spite calls. But it's +EV because you are ahead of any 2 + the dead money in the blinds. But to make this call you have to be sure he really is pushing ANY two.

I'm sure it's any 2; he'd shoved all hands when he was first in the pot the previous orbit save one UTG.

If you really are certain, then you can make the call. Expect to be heavily berated.

Stacks. Calling Q9 here isn't necessary, but if he's on any two you should DEFINITELY be calling stuff like A8 and KT. Mandatory.
