    Maybe you guys can help me.

    Using the scenario of a player UTG raising, you have put him on a range of:

    77+,ATs+,AJo+,KJs+,KQo

    How are you playing a hand that is 50%+, 45% and 40% vs. this range?
    50%+: TT+,AQs+,AKo
    45%-50%: 99,AQo
    40%-45%: 88-77,AJs-ATs,AJo

    Are you generally re-raising the range that is 50%+? Are you generally calling between 40%-50%?

    Thanks for any help!

    lol.

    Seriously though this question may be a little open ended, as all of these cases would be incredibly player/stack size dependent.

    ill try to answer this as clearly as possible. If ur hand does 50% vs their CALLING range then u should be getting it in like all day everyday a million times over and over. Since there will be antes, blinds, and his opening raise you will be breaking even vs the rest of his chips and splitting whats already in the middle long term. Now factor in the times he folds to ur "shove" and u got urself a great +ev situation. Then u can decide at what point whats in the pot+the times he folds still covers the equity u have vs their range. So say u have 40% equity vs their calling range and theres already enough in the pot to cover that 10% difference and some then its optimal to get it in.

    Thanks for all of the answers.

    Now how do you play these situations if the effective blinds are say:

    20xBB

    30xBB

    40xBB+
