On top of that the raise is 2.3x out of UTG who has 14BB which looks strong (not always on this rags flop but in terms of PF ranges). Don't have good odds to setmine vs. opener's stack size but with SB coming along and BTN all-in I'm happy to flat pf and try to catch.
We have 1805 chips in our stack, the pot is 502 chips, the increase of our stack is 25% when shoved and not called. 14bb min raising range from this position should include steal combos with blockers etc. 14bb also should have shoving range, so when he does not shove, that means he doesnt have middle range. As most villains are way too unbalanced I would assume he is more bluff heavy.
VS SB, he only completed, meaning that he never does that with his top range (he never calls an AI). You need to have 20:1/15:1/10:1 implied odds vs effective stack to make setminning profitable. (I use the rule of 10:1 and vs strong range IP is quite OK, we likely get paid, 15:1 when we are less likely to get paid and 20:1 when very diffucult to get paid, like oop vs good reg deepstacked etc.) For this situation let's be neutral and go for 15:1 since he never has his top range, and is not an aggresor in a hand. He also realises that the pot is multiway, he is on the worst position on the table and probably doesnt want to get stacked in this scenerio. SO, you call 65 to win your stack which is 1850 (28:1 - FINE)
However, I rather take 502 chips right here right now, like almost always, then 7.5:1 when I flop a set and pray to get called by his mid range.
