    Default Calling range spot

    Hero's first hand at the table. Shover is a reg who just got sucked out on by the limper for a medium sized pot as I saw the last 2 streets of the hand. Shover is a mediocre tag for the stake who isn't capable of really anything special whatsoever. I'm not entirely sure he beats the games either. He could be tilting so what do we call with here?

    Full Tilt No-Limit Hold'em, $0.50 BB (5 handed) -

    Hero (BB) ($50)
    UTG ($55.70)
    MP ($53.60)
    Button ($45)
    SB ($54.30)

    Preflop: Hero is BB with [X,X]
    UTG calls $0.50, 2 folds, SB bets $54.30 (All-In)

    I think he would be able to pull himself together and not play QQ+ like a retard. I think it's mostly small pairs and some stupid hands.

    I just don't expect to see QQ+ here all that often.
    Obviously low sample size on this shit, but I'm pretty sure I've seen 22-99, KQ, Axs way more in these spots.

    but he wouldnt be able to pull himself together and not play 22-99/Axs like a retard?

    ok, listen cuz I'm a doctor of psychology, twice.
    When he's in that mindset where he's open shoving whatever, he's not doing it for value, he's doing it to self destruct. Subcontiously I don't think he even wants to win the hand. He just wants to go broke so he can log off and pity himself.

    tbh I have no idea... I just can't remember a hand where some semi reg open shoved QQ+ out of frustration. Might be cuz of bad memory or small sample size.
    The last hand I remember that went exactly like that, villain open shoved over 200bb from CO with 99 and another one for slightly more than 100bb with 97 - both at least slightly winning regs, 100 or 200nl - and I only remember those cuz I lost both
    I'll check if you can filter for bet sizes in HEM and see if I can find some hands.

    idk I tend to feed the spew of spewtards, but on eurosites where I play, if your typical spazzy aggro reg gets sucked out on they shove any 2, sometimes up to 5 hands in a row.
    The joy of stacking them when they spaz shove brings me utter happiness more than the 100bb's.

    Back in the days when I was a bit stupid I used to shove premiums after being sucked out on the previous hand.

    Meh, without any more information I think it's somewhere between the two (points of view) If he was CO or BTN and UTG had raised instead of limping, I'd be less inclined to call light.

    I see what i think is both to loose and too tight in this thread. I think something like 99+, AJs + is optimal. You'll see shit like A10 and KQ sometimes from people that do this.
    Family Cruise IMO
