 is the small blind here supposed to call ATC, or fold hoping that the other shorty busts?

if Im the sb I think I prob call atc


if the other shorty doubles your fked, and you have more then him so if you both lose to the big stack you get 2nd. Seems like a good spot to gamble.

Because he has the shorter shorty out-chipped and will take 2nd if they both lose, he should definitely call with ATC to maximize the chance that the other shorty will bust. If the shorter shorty doesn't bust on this hand, then SB is in major trouble.

Reverse the stacks and it is a fold.

Here's the Nash Equilibrium for this spot:

PU CA OC Range
BU 1.7%, QQ+ AKs <<What button should shove
SB 73.5%, 22+ Kx+ Q2s+ Q5o+ J2s+ J7o+ T2s+ T6o+ 92s+ 96o+ 82s+ 85o+ 73s+ 75o+ 62s+ 64o+ 52s+ 54o 42s+ 32s <<What SB should call.
BB 100.0%, Any two


The SB needs to win this hand 21% of the time to make this call.

If the button is shoving any wider than that, this is a call with any two.

In this scenario, as the BB, I would assume that the button is completely unaware that he should be so tight, and I would call with any two.
