Pot odds-based call of shortstack push (PS $11)

[taipan168]

SB had been sort of loose (VPIP 33%) and had turned up the aggression short-handed. This was the first time that he/she had pushed back against a preflop raise but had open pushed a couple of times once blinds reached 75/150.

What range do you put SB on here? I'm getting a bit over 2.2 to 1 on my money, so according to Pokerstove, I'm getting the right price if SB is doing this with 88+, AJs+, KQs and AKo.

Does anybody think that SB pushes with anything weaker than this range? Does anybody think that SB's range is tighter than this?

Button (t4810)

BB (t1260)
Hero (t2640)
MP (t3055)

Preflop: Hero is UTG with T, A.
Hero raises to t600, 2 folds, SB raises to t1735, 1 fold, Hero ?????

Why is your pf raise so big?

What range do YOU put him on?

I don't like calling based on pot odds. You did say this is the first time he pushed back preflop, and down to 5 way. The hands that do this could dominate you AJ+. I lay down to his push.

The reason you have good odds is because you raised 4x bb UTG. Only time I do that is with a big hand, QQ+, to limit the pot... I would probably fold this hand UTG, maybe give it a 2.5x raise.

Ummm...BB is 200, I raised to 600, my standard 3x BB raise? OK, maybe it could be 2.5x at 100/200 blinds.

I put him on 88+ (maybe 77), AT+, maybe KQ. At that range I'm getting the right price to call which is why I wanted to see what others thought about his range. It had been a very aggressive bubble with lots of pushing back to open raises, and SB is getting short stacked (although not desperate).

Considering the context - that the table has been very aggressive on the bubble, I'd say that's a crying call. I think with SB being relatively short stacked, he's getting desperate and looking for a good chance to steal. Especially if he thinks there's been a lot of aggression. I think your range might need to be even wider than 88+ AT+ maybe KQ, as any good player will loosen up when short handed games start to get overly aggressive. Frequent steals call for frequent re-steals.

My bad... I thought I saw the blinds were 75/150 so I was confused by the 600 raise.

With your description of the table and villian I would think you have to call this also.
