Default Obv. not a standard hand, but a standard push?

NL600

Stacks are 750 effective.

Spot from a few weeks back. I sit with 67s in SB. Folded to Button who opens with a wide range. He raises to 222. I've done this as a missclick ones or twice, but never had any succes.
How often is he fake missclicking and how often is this a missclick?
I would also like to hear what an unknown calls this push with?
I pushed.

I dont see me having a tough spot with AQ. AQ is sooo ahead of his button opening range.
Please comment on what you see him calling my push with.

seems like the point is that if it's a misclick, can you reraise allin and likely get a fold, pretty much regardless of your actual hand - and with 67s you sorta have a bit of value to fall back on, yeah not as much heads up value as AJ/AQ, but still i mean would it be a good move with 27o here?

Yeah the point is that he folds alot of hands if this is a missclick. And my hand has some value if he calls. Also what is the optimal stack size to make this push?

*barf*

He is calling way too light even if it was a misclick. And the times it's not....well.

Without knowing villains calling range for sure we can't draw firm conclusions. However, I think 67s is exactly the hand to do this with and AJ/AQ would in fact be a worse hand to push with.

The raise to $222 is either in error or a deliberate ploy. If its a ploy the AJ/AQ and probably AK are nearly always dominated meaning if you push you only get called when in a terrible spot. With 67s you are never going to be dominated and you should take the pot uncontested a lot of the time. When he has made this play deliberately you have the best possible hand for cracking a big pair.

However, you need to know that if he's got a legitimate button raising hand such as A10, KJ, etc then he'll usually cry at his error but fold it. If he calls with this range then 67s is a terrible push. It's therefore very important to have a handle on villains calling range if the misclick was in fact a mistake before making this play. The converse is also true - if you know he'll cry and call A10, KJ, KQ, etc then push AJ/AQ type hands all day long and fold 67s, etc.

^^^ in short it hinges on the very question you are asking, 'what do unknowns call with here'. The problem is this is not a common situation in poker so I cannot see how we can firmly apply a realistic calling range to 'unknowns'. It's player specific and even then quite mood specific. A lot of good players might actually tilt at their mistake and talk themselves into calls they otherwise wouldn't have made.

I don't really agree with this. Because of the pot odds he'll be getting, he might feel forced to call w/99 and TT etc if you push. He might even call with AJ or KQ. Besides, 67s only has an extra couple % more equity than AQ against a range of AK, QQ+ (check pstove) and having AQ/AJ makes it less likely he has an A and therefore more likely it is an actual misclick.
