Could you please verify or refute the following to make sure I understand fully:
*If under 7.8bbs effective when an opponent shoves on the button, that still does not necessarily mean I should look at the Nash calling chart since his shove does not imply that he's playing shove-or-fold (i.e. maybe there are hands he's still willing to limp or raise less than all-in, but it just so happened that the current hand was one that was a shove).
*If I do have my opponent pegged for playing push-or-fold and he pushes less than 7.8bb effective I should call according to the chart, regardless of his perceived shoving range. (If this is correct, I don't see how this is necessarily optimal/close to it; what if for example he's been playing very tight-passive and there's no reason to believe his perceived range would have change? Nash seems too wide here, no?)
