    45 left. top 30 paid. folded to me with K3o on button. should I be shipping here with no reads? what should I do vs 2 loose blinds/ 2 tight blinds? these spots always get to me ... cause I see people shipping almost 100% of btns when folded to when they are this shortstacked... However I dont fully understand the maths involved and what is the optimal strategy. If somebody could explain this as well It would be appreciated

    I'd ship here. You are at 8.7 Big Blinds. Id push here with any A, K, and most Qs. You do not have time to wait around for a premium hand. You will lose the rest of your chips waiting. You'd be surprised how often people will fold to your push. Zach will have to call 2/3s of his stack so his calling range should be pretty tight. Dullshot's range is wider but still worth pushing to pick up the blinds or get called by QJ and hold on.

    I would call with 100% hands that beat K3 and possibly QT-QJ. Probably about ~35% of hands I call with.
