NL25 zoom with no info on opponent

It folds to him in MP and he open shoves 100 BBs. It folds around to you in the BB, what do you call with? I had one of those hands that I consider right on the line and I'm just curious how others would see it.

Readless I'd call AQo+, AJs+, TT+.

That happened to me the other day - I had AK and lost to A10. I’m calling only AK and QQ+. Readless.

We can easily call min def frequency my gues is it is close to QQ+ AK. Lazy, will not compute it, such spots are not frequent.

I typically do QQ+, AK against a 100BB open shove. Admittedly, I doubt that's optimal.

99 I think, 88/77 is borderline. AT I think. We should probably be going wider imo, got to keep chips flying. But then readless probably no need to go crazy

I worked it out but what are they shoving with here. My mind at the time went to some kind of steam raise. He had exactly 100 BB and so probably lost a big pot last hand and was chasing that loss with who knows what. I know that's just a guess and even so I don't think he's shoving rags but can we not call a little wider than mdf?

I had AQo and ended up dumping it.

Maybe the second part of that range can be explained with misclicks. I don't know how easy it is to accidentally open shove on other sites, but it's very easy on Ignition. I accidentally open shoved 55 PF for 180BB once (BB tanked and showed me QJo), but it might explain part of the reason you see open shoves.
