Opener is pretty tight. With this stack size what is your range for getting it in pre against a tight opener and what is your range when random guy flats?

3 folds, MP2 raises to 2,000, 3 folds, SB calls 1,600, Hero?

Ranges of OR and flatter are tight enough that a 7bb ship with 33 is never profitable... this is a straight fold

Id say 66+, AJ+,KQs.
Don´t know what range is sb flatting with that stack size but if he is bad he may be flatting suited connectors and broadways that will often fold to a shove. If sb is a good i would worry a bit more and maybe tighten the range above.

MP2 pretty tight but not nit hopefully. I would give him 22+; A8s+; KTs+; QTs+; JTs; A9o+; KJo+; QJo. 42% vs this range is not so good and we don't have FE. SB's flat call also not so good here. But guys, Hero has only 7bb and we are far from the money, I would jam here.

I dunno, SB will prolly fold if MP2 isoships over our ship. And with that dead money you get like 3/1 and pairs are slightly less likely than two high cards for MP2. So, as we are desperate anyway, I could say this spot is as good as any. Hope to race vs AK/AQ.

To MpH. That range is way too wide for MP2 and OP says his kindofa nit; anyone decent knows that there will be a resteal ship with those stacks more often than not, and intending to fold is spewy. So, 66+,ATs+,KTs+,QJs,AJo+ seems more appropriate. 33 has 38% equity vs that, so this seems fine. We still however, need to take away some in case the flatter is trapping with a monster.
