We are ITM but FT isn't imminent. What should my calling range be here?

http://www.holdemresources.net/

I have HRC but I'm not great at using it yet, need to watch some videos. but we need to assign villains a range. In particular SB's range early stats is he looks reggy but no sample. using HRC defaults ok?

yeah, should be fine. maybe cut 5% os sb calling range

its a call i think better run it with hrc and twirk ranges

yep 66 is a good call, 55 is a call aswell, 44s are borderline because of some slight icm tax but in game id usually fold 44s but they can be a +cev call here if villains are wide enough

For a simple "2-bet" one like this you can use their free Nash calculator.

Based on chip EV

BU 39.7%, 22+ Ax+ K2s+ K7o+ Q6s+ Q9o+ J7s+ JTo T7s+ T9o 96s+ 86s+ 76s 65s
SB 29.4%, 22+ Ax+ K6s+ K9o+ Q9s+ QTo+ J9s+
BB 19.3%, 33+ A5s+ A8o+ K9s+ KTo+ QTs+ QJo JTs

ICM pressure puts the "gap concept" on crack, and when you are third in that magnifies it. If we simulate some light ICM pressure by pretending this is actually a 6-handed SNG paying 65-35, we get:

BU 38.2%, 22+ Ax+ K2s+ K9o+ Q6s+ QTo+ J7s+ J9o+ T7s+ T9o 96s+ 86s+ 75s+ 65s
SB 24.3%, 22+ A2s+ A4o+ K9s+ KTo+ QTs+ QJo JTs
BB 12.7%, 55+ A8s+ ATo+ KTs+ KQo QTs+ JTs

Which makes it a lot closer already. Where is this hand from? Is it final 3 tables?
