  5. With 6.5 BB, he should have a wide range, but it's curious that he has such a short stack, yet shoved Ax with 18 BB another time. This is all contradictory to me. Did his stack just take a hit?

    I'm isoshoving here; I don't believe one can pass up chances such as this to gain chips. If he has QQ+, so be it.
  6. I would shove. Btw, BROADStBULLe is next to act after standman shoves. Can I assume he folded? Otherwise, I might play it differently.
  7. I'd fold i'd rather be shoving with that hand then calling late in a tourney there . Its not that hard to be behind there and its for almost half your stack
  8. i like an iso shove here,

    we should be ahead of alot of his range and only 1 person to act after us.

    plus with the shove being so small the dead money in the middle gives us great odds to get it in vs him even if we arent ahead of his range
     
  9. Exactly^ He can show A10 JJ etc face up and you should still iso with the odds you're getting
  10. Fold. Negative ev to call his shove.

    its rly rly hard for this to be a -EV call.

    by folding this ur giving up on alot of equity

    fwiw acc to nash if the CO is shoving optimally and the BB is over calling optimally our calling range should be 30.0%, 22+ A2s+ A3o+ K6s+ K9o+ Q8s+ QTo+ J9s+ JTo T9s

    u might disagree with some of those hands based on the actual shoving range of the short stack but KQs is a monster compared to wat our calling range should be and would probably be a rly big leak if ur consistently folding to a shove like this

    i 2nd this notion
     
  13. iso shove, easy decision. +ev play. his shoving range indeed is very wide.
