sorry chaps, i guess this type of post has been done before, but i wasnt sure what to do.

i used pokerstove for this so as to be more specific with his range. not familiar with it though.
we need 61% to warrant a call, right?

i think ive even been generous with his range.

which figure are we concentrating on? just the 62.946?

any further elaboration on tips for using pokerstove would be appreciated.

thanks, ed

probably just fold, but I would take out JJ+ from the range, along with KJ- and the aces < A9 ish just to see how it looks.

He's a clown but may that special clown who 'always' gets his big pairs cracked so he tries this instead. Let someone else call with the AK/66 and collect your equity when one of them busts.

Play with an ICM calculator (eg. ICM Poker - Online ICM Calculator) to see what equity you need to call here. From memory it's about 54-55%.

I also think the shove range you used is way too wide. I think it's far more weighted to small-medium pocket pairs and AK rather than hands like QJ and A2.
