    Default 2 Questions about a standard microstakes spot

    PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em, €0.10 BB (4 handed) - PokerStars Converter Tool from http://www.flopturnriver.com
    BB (€10.10)
    Hero (UTG) (€12.96)
    Button (€19.47)
    SB (€8.06)
    Preflop: Hero is UTG with a pretty decent hand,
    Hero bets €0.30, 1 fold, SB raises to €8.06 (All-In), 1 fold, Hero ??? (last to act)

    What is your calling range? Assume you have seen enough of villains play to know that he takes very strange lines (e.g. 40%+ VPIP, extremely aggro in bad spots, extreme slowplaying of very strong hands on very drawy boards etc.)



    I have been doing some thinking about this situation. If we assume he has a mixture of goodish hands (say 88+, AK) and random suited fishbluffs like J7s.

    In this particular hand we hold .

    Vs his 88+, AK we have 37% equity. Vs a random fishbluff of J7s we have only 65% equity. So he needs to have 38 possible combos of J7s (type stuff) for us to be able to call. There are roughly ~300 combos of possible random fishbluff hands, so he needs a 10% chance to random shove any given suited crap hand.

    He could of course have more high Ax or Axs hands in his range, but even so it seems he needs a pretty high random shove % before we can start calling these hands, even when his value range is fairly wide?

    I think the possibility of Axs shoves probably makes AQs a call, but are we calling any wider? AJs looks to be in much worse shape.
