Whereas weak aces, low pairs, and/or the remainder of his weaker playable range shoves. That 20-50%+ range of hands since w/10bb effective they are probably no longer raise-folding, so they are looking to maximize their FE.
And although we did lock up another spot for a few... there's so much more value in the final table... Of course we need to accumulate chips for this - just feels like were in such a bad spot vs. a 20% range... and actually if you throw in A2 vs. 50% range we are still an underdog.
Versus this range we're 44% (which are hands between top 5-25% of hands): 88-22, ATs-A2s, KJs-K8s, Q9s+, J9s+, T9s, AQo-A9o, KTo+, QTo+, JTo
Unless you have specific reads about the SB that their range is super tight I can't see how this is a bad shove.
