Villain likes to shove pretty wide against the shorter stacks which of course had should where he has the opportunity. He open shoved me two orbits prior to this and I folded, he also shoved his button over me the orbit before that into the shorty in BB and he showed down K 6s. Tempted to call here what do you guys think?

SB: t4120 M = 11.44
Hero (BB): t2460 M = 6.83
CO: t4960 M = 13.78
BTN: t1960 M = 5.44

Pre Flop: (t360) Hero is BB with A

2 folds, SB raises to t4120 all in, Hero?

I'd definitely call this guy, even if he's not quite wide enough it should be small enough mistake

Ran it through wiz and seems the cut off to fold or call is 40%. If you think he is shoving 41%+ then call, 40% or less, then fold.

Will- I probably would have him on about top 30% hands. I looked at this in Wiz too afterwards and it said fold, my thought in game was that I likely had the best hand here though. In game I figured Wiz would say fold but I went ahead and made the call anyway.

I think this is a call. As stated, shorty aint that short, and I expect SB to be pushing wide. I feel we are for sure ahead here like 95% of the time.

Well to me shoving about 1/3 of your range is pretty wide. Maybe I am a nit.

Thanks Jabong. As usual we are thinking pretty much alike.
