Hey,

apologies for not converting a hand in proper way. Couldn't find hh. I know it's a spot where you should calculate yourself but I suspect I am doing something wrong with that.

My calculation lead to these numbers: Co would open here smth like 25% and BTN 3bets with about 15% (including some light stuff). Therefore I got range of gii TT, AQs+ AKo which is ridiculously tight given my stack size and player ranges. Is this right?

Thanks

This is one of those tricky slightly -$ev spots where I probably would end up calling. From BTNs perspective, if he's somewhat thinking reg, that's a very good resteal spot with 2 extreme shorstacks and 2 bigstacks. So he could be pretty light here. Calling and winning brings you back to game with healthy ~12bb stack and decent fold equity, while folding leaves you with 3.5bb stack with pretty much no fold equity at all. And you can hardly expect any better spot in few next hands where you'll have to be allin anyway.

4-handed with your stack I don't see any other play than call with this hand.
Yes you have a bet and raise in front, but I wouldn't be suprised you still end up having the best hand.

With less than 4bb, you can't wait for the other player to bust. This is like a good/horrible situation. Player 1 will be opening very wide and Player 2 will be isolating very wide. This will possibly allow you 2 get it in HU. Although, I may think Player 2 may not be super wide but wide enough that combinations of hands like QTo+ are in his range and tons of low PPs that he would want to be picking up tons of dead money. With all that dead money and lets say you're slightly under 50% equity, I think it would be fine to call.

Although this range might be a bit tight for Player 2 to be isolating with, AJs seems to do decent against it.

Equity Win Tie
MP2 52.00% 48.78% 3.21% AJs
MP3 48.00% 44.79% 3.21% 22+, A9s+, K9s+, QTs+, JTs, ATo+, KJo+, QJo

given the stacksize, It's a first pump call.
