CO will mostly have draws in his range (Axs and medium SCs of hearts) but when BB calls with his wide range of hands ( mostly 5x or combo draws) you have to fold
The question that you have to be asking yourself is. : what hands I beat with the action as played?
I wouldn't overcall when bb is there, he has enough 5x in wideish bb def range to make it unprofitable, even if its a draw we still have to dodge alot like 7h8h, AhXh etc, proly folds alot of his 6x to bet and a jam too
Ah, the old "call or fold" situation. Very descriptive title.
Just think about the ranges here and that'll lead you to the right answer. What are some hands that CO beats you with? BB?
Spoiler:
Easy call vs CO (who has some weaker overpairs and draws), easy fold when BB overcalls. More difficult situation when only BB check/jams, but still likely a call.
