    point12guard:

    For this to be a +$ev shove I need a top ~10% hand. And to be a +cev shove I need a top ~50% hand. So I'm wondering what my shoving range should be here and how to figure it out. Thanks for your help.

    Where did you get those #'s from? I assume those assume perfect calling ranges but these players will call too tight so you probably can get away with less than top 10%/50%. Download pokerstove, you can look up top 10%, 50%, etc.

    What?

    I adjusted their calling ranges to get top 10% for +$ev, and top 50% for +Cev. What I'm trying to say is that I'm assuming the most profitable range is somewhere in between 10% and 50%, and I'm hoping someone will explain how to figure it out.
