Hello guys
I’ve got a problem with my <15bb range. For example: I fold to a 3bet 47% of the time with my 15-20bb range in UTG2 which seems reasonable. The issue accurse when I’m only 12-15bb deep. I start jamming (in the same example) some part of my range right away so my continuing range is a lot weaker. Now when I opening with a min-raise (12-15bb deep) I have to fold against a 3bet 60% of the time (in other positions even more) which seems way too high. My idea is since we have to open the same amount of hands with 12-15bb (because they are profitable as an open for <20bb they shout be even more profitable with <15bb, more equity realization short stacks) to increase the continuing range with around 20-24 combos.
What do you think?

Short summary:
UTG2: 15-20bb Min-raise opening: 184 combos, Jamming: 0 combos, FT3B: 88 combos (47%)

UTG2: 12-15bb Min-raise opening: 126 combos, Jamming: 58 combos (AJo-AKo, KQs, 88-TT), FT3B: 76 combos (60%)


Thankful for every answer

I just jam < 15 BB's. Maximum FE, minimum bad decisions later.

For me it is a horrific outcome to minraise and fold leaving 10-13bb's.

Also, in live tourneys anyway, you get to fold out hands like AT/AJ some decent % of the time when you have small PP's. I have seen guys folding AQ and 88-TT as well.

I agree only way a see min raising with 12-15bb is if it's folded to you on the button and you have a weak player in the BB you can outplay postflop if he defends correctly.
