  1. So this is right near the bubble and I had just lost a good pot a few hands before. I don't care about min cashing because I actually bust out the very next hand with 66 in a race pre flop. My question is what is our calling range here. He has not shoved at all pre flop with this similar stack size. I know the bb is about to blind out which adds a twist but he still has two guys behind him who can hurt him badly so I don't think he is doing this too light.
