    <TABLE class=simple cellSpacing=2 cellPadding=3 border=1><TBODY><TR><TD>SB</TD><TD><TD><TD>100.0%, Any two</TD></TR><TR><TD><TD>BB</TD><TD><TD>4.5%, 77+ AJs+ </TD></TR></TBODY></TABLE>
    Shove according to ICM if I did that right. BB (who is 2nd in chips) can only call you with 77+ and AJs+.

    gl telling a random in a $7 sng that he's only supposed to call with that range. Still an ez shove though.

    fwiw I actually fold a little tighter here myself because I value my tourney shove over my tourney call. I feal like my ability to shove and put fear into others is very good, so I hate calling shoves like this. I'm only calling here 9+ and AQ+, so shove me all day here;p

    yeh I thought it was pretty close because he did call with 99 and it got me thinking if the shove was right but its such a small range he can call with and he just about made it.

    Thanks for the responses :)
