Villain is random 27/14 with 0 ATS over 60 hands; otherwise, no reads. I can get the answer in Wiz but would like to get some advice from you guys.

BTN: t3200 8 BBs
SB: t4665 11.66 BBs

1 fold, SB raises to t4665 all in, Hero requests TIME, 1 fold

I call

Edit: Wiz likes it if he's shoving ~40%. Given ur reads this might not be the case tho....

My reasoning before looking at wiz is that its only a 10% jump between 3rd and 2nd place, so its worth taking a small risk here to get a huge chip lead HU... I'd like some feedback from better players on this line of reasoning tho

Is ATS steal attempt? Over 50 odd hands there could be very few steal hands amongst those stats but even so it does seem pretty damn tight. Sometimes I do fold based on stack sizes and those stats.

I cant fold here, but it is nowhere near fist pump.

I'd normally call here but given your read and stack sizes I wouldn't blame you for folding.

Just depends on villain, I could go either way in-game. Since you were playing, you were best to decide. I may give him some credit here, but on the other hand it's not like he's folding A2-A6/KQ/KJ etc.

I'd be calling here unless we have a specific read that he is VERY tight bvb (>20% or so)

Like mavs said, this is a call but by no means a fistpump.

lol I gave up trying to find out exactly what this would be, but it means he's folding at least 77+, ATs+ and shoving everything else.EDIT: no wait, I put in ATo for some reason. Obv I'm not gonna do it again

I just go with any kind of read I have/can find searching previous hands frantically.

In this case he's passive and it's a fold for me. 60 hands with basically no aggression at all makes 40% SB shoves sound unlikely. He's got over 10BB which even fish know is the "magic number" nowadays. Plus he's shoving into the big stack.

Basically this:
