Hi guys,

I was just wondering what do you tend to do in such spots. Usually such raises means pretty big hands (especially lower blinds like 25/50 etc) which means guy has to be raising at least 88 AJ ATs here to make call profitable.

Poker Stars, $2.28 Buy-in (100/200 blinds) No Limit Hold'em Tournament, 9 Players
Poker Tools Powered By Holdem Manager - The Ultimate Poker Software Suite. View Hand #10810112

MP2: 1,285 (6.4 bb)
MP3: 3,090 (15.5 bb)
CO: 820 (4.1 bb)
BTN: 1,180 (5.9 bb)
SB: 4,865 (24.3 bb)
Hero (BB): 1,845 (9.2 bb)
UTG+1: 2,210 (11.1 bb)
UTG+2: 2,650 (13.3 bb)
MP1: 9,865 (49.3 bb)

Preflop: Hero is BB with Q

4 folds, MP3 calls 200, 2 folds, SB raises to 1,000, HERO ???

Hero has under 10bb, so I would argue it is time to worry about it.

He can be iso'ing wider than the range you've assigned him, unless you have some specific read, so I get it in.

Trouble is if u shove u might show up against two players with AQ. Wait for the next hand and shove T9 instead.

You mean AK? lol if they both have aq we are happy to get it in to chop the dead maneys..
Also you can't say they both could have xx and yy, total equity vs. range

Well I forgot to add that I dont count first guy very much as he is classic player 30/10 or something, other guy is like 38/8 after about 100 hands.
