    Default 5/10 shortstacked villain pushing ranges

    Only been playing 5/10 a couple of days, and probably won't be playing much more for awhile, since I have to withdraw a chunk of my bankroll soon. But one thing I've noticed is more 20-40bb opponents that push a lot pre-flop. I've been calling pretty conservatively unless I've seen them show something down, but I'm curious to hear from 5/10 regulars about what range you think these guys are pushing with.

    Here are a couple of examples, but I'm mainly looking for general thoughts.

    1. Villain sat down, posted in the CO and folded to a raise from UTG+1. This is his second hand. BB is a solid tagg.

    Stack sizes:
    UTG: $1159
    UTG+1: $390
    CO: $1905.50
    Hero: $1395
    SB: $1010
    BB: $1812.05

    Pre-flop: (6 players) Hero is Button with two cards
    UTG folds, UTG+1 calls, CO folds, Hero raises to $45, SB folds, BB calls, UTG+1 raises all-in $390, Hero...

    2. Villain is 17/11 over 400 hands. I've only been sitting down for 3 orbits and he's made a $30 opening raise twice, hasn't pushed pre-flop yet. CO is loose and bad.

    Hand ranges you call with? Other thoughts?

    Funny, I would give the guy who just sat down and posted oop, then limp/rr pushed the next hand a looser range than a possible ss regular...
