AJs in CO facing a squeeze

[AnyTwoWillDo]

This is the third time I have raised Makaviti's blind in 5 orbits. The first time everyone folded. The second time pmhyde called but Makaviti folded. I also recently raised from early position and folded to a 3-bet if that's relevant. On this hand Makaviti insta-shoved.

Call for sure, if you like it I'd shove pre.

[AnyTwoWillDo]

Ok, that makes me feel better What are the worst hands I should be calling with here?

[drmcboy]

Sure. To be clear I meant to say:

Call for sure, if you don't want to call here, I would shove pre.

What are the worst hands I should be calling with here?

It's hard to say without reads, I'd probably call with AJo+ and 88+ vs anyone. vs aggro guys you'd add in more Ax and KQ. you should be shoving hands like 22+, A8s+, KJ+, maybe a couple more.

[AnyTwoWillDo]

Thanks for the help. The weakest aspect of my game seems to be when I have ~20bb, but I'm trying to work on it.

[fulksy]

doc, whats your raise fold range here(if any)?

i like raise calling much better then open shoving here.

[drmcboy]

probably just like suited 1+ gappers starting around QTish and unsuited 0-1 gaps below Jx.

might add in others with reads.

[vaks]

ez call you could probably get away with making your raise here closer to 525-550 to save some chips when you are raising with hands like QJo and have to fold to shoves. And it is achieving the same thing with your monsters as well
