We had basically been trading blinds for the past 10-15 hands. Nobody is getting out of line but there has been a raise/shove in pretty much every hand. Do you get it in here with KJ?

how does that jive?

if sb is shoving everytime its folded to him then I call with this in a heartbeat

one of the keys to advancing in sngs (or so i have been told) is not so much learning to shove cause that party is easy but learning to call shoves

imo given what you said this is one of those times

to clarify a bit: we're fighting for the blinds. not one single person is raising every hand; it's each of us individually trying to take it down on our own. so either nobody is getting out of line or we're all out of line because we're all making the same plays at the blinds.

basically these situations happen all the time. everyone is playing the gap concept to the fullest, because they know the other 2 are also playing a similar strategy. that means that SBs range is very wide with this push.

calling is definitely an option. however with that many bbs and the other 2 folding to raises i think i fold and look for a better opportunity.
