$6.50 bubble. ATo UTG

    Default $6.50 bubble. ATo UTG

    BB is an idiot and will call wide. SB is good enough if slightly too tight in his small blind. Button is tight.

    Basically SB and button are not calling this without the goods. This is an interesting one. Depending on how loose BB is, AT is the bottom of shove range, but becomes bad if he starts calling with suited Qs.

    The other point is that SB should shove wide, and BB should call even wider if I fold right? This starts to have an impact if SB shoves over 50% and BB is pretty loose.

    Where are we with this?

    man did you read the post? I did (well WIZ). The question regards calling ranges and the shove/call range of the SB/BB if I fold.

    Because BB is super loose/bad this is actually surprisingly on the edge, and I wondered if anyone had any input on types of hands an idiot like this would call in BB, and types of hands a solid but perhaps overly tight SB would shove. Perhaps also a discussion of how BB next hand affects me.

    I think that this is one of those hands that is very close in EV between shoving or folding. For me, the fact that you have to eat the BB next hand would tip the balance towards shoving (remember Wiz doesn't take this into account).

    As for SB and BB shove/call ranges, I would say that if SB knows what he is doing he should shove far wider than 50% here and I would expect a BB with the big stack to call with any PP, any ace, any king, Q7+, J9+ and higher suited connectors. This probably makes AT a fold in this spot

It does, via simulation of future hands (you have that option on right), the feature is not very good though IMO

    Given I think BB calls me with QT and maayyybe even JT, This may be 88+, AJs+?
