limp call. this hands plays well against the range of hands bb will raise you with pre. if he check back pre get ready to barrel off.

No history, 3rd orbit at the table. First time it's folded to me in the SB.

Would like to hear some more opinions still not convinced what's best (though it's obv super player dependent but imo these "readless" spots come up quite often).

You'll want to mix up how you play this a bit to be unpredictable. I don't like ever limping a playable hand in my first sb vs bb battle; don't want bb assuming I'm passive and making a bunch of moves on me based on this assumption/read.

I don't like limp calling n playing oop vs someone good, sounds like a recipe for spewing off an important part of our 20bbs.

Pot is 25k, we have less than 10x that and with villain barely covering us I just shove pre. Without doing any calcs I think his calling range should be tight enough that it's profitable?
