So I played against this dude.
He just jammed all in every 2nd hand.
Slowplayed AA once
I figured our holding has a decent EQ vs JQ+ etc?
We GAMBOL on this one or nay?
I'm also drunk so don't be rude


Party, $0.05/$0.10 No Limit Hold'em Cash, 4 Players

Hero (SB): $12.35 (123.5 bb)
BB: $18.15 (181.5 bb)
CO: $14.33 (143.3 bb)
BTN: $33.15 (331.5 bb)

Preflop: Hero is SB with 8 J
2 folds, Hero raises to $0.30, BB raises to $18.15, Hero ???????????

Fold button is the one on the left

You seem like you like to gamble so go for it.

If he's shoving "every second hand", J8s has 46% vs a 50% range so I'm gonna say it's a fold. Ofc, it's worse with rake.

If he's shoving that often, you should fold pre the first time.

Thanks dudes!
our EQ + 6.6% rake = fold everytime I guess.

What would be good GAMBOL hands to call that with?

AT+, KQ, 88+ if he really likes random shoves. And by randon I mean T7 too.

77/KJs/A9 is probably fine, so slightly less nitty than Iblis says but around about that. That's for a slightly conservative range of 35% shoving; obviously it depends what range we can assign him then just plug it into equilab. If he really doesn't shove AA then we can go a bit wider but not much.

If he is a bit more selective like AX, 22+, any two broadway then we have to call AT+,A9s, but we can go as low as 55 as this range contains more low PP than equilab's 35%. We can't call KQ in this case.

Thanks this is actually quite educational for me as it's not often people talk about what range to call vs a random shove range pre in cash! Think I have been calling way too wide in spots like this eg AX/KX 55 etc.
