So I used my shove charts for MP @10bbs: 22+,A2s+,K9s+,Q9s+,J8s+,T8s+,98s,A8o+,KJo+,QJo    29.99%

 

MP1 shoving range for 20bbs looks like this:55+, A5s, A9s+,K9s+,QTs+,JTs,T9s, AJo+, KQo   36.19%

 

vs 88   33.82%

 

As I investigated further, I narrowed MP1s range to this: 88+,ATs+,KJs+,QJs,JTs,AQo+

The equity of 88s went down by more than 4%.

MP= 27.44% MP1= 42.80%

88s= 29.75%

 

I think this should lead us to a fold. And, to be fair, I doubt that MP1 is over-shoving as wide as my second range. He’s probably not shoving anything worse than this:99+,AJs+,KQs,AQo+. I don’t know for sure, but I can speculate.

I would love to hear what you guys think about this spot.

If we go with that 22% MP 10bb shoving range (which is very reasonable) and an approximate range that I’d be looking to shove from HJ of 88+, ATs+, KQs, AJ+:

Hero wants to call 99+, AQs, AK.

AQo is losing 0.02bb while 88 is losing 0.24bb. 77 (-0.82bb), KQs (-0.91bb) and 66 (-0.93bb) are the only other hands losing less than 1bb by calling here. 99 (+1.14bb) is the worst-performing hand in the calling range.

Anytime there are already two all-ins, I prefer to err on the side of overly tight instead of overly loose, so I wouldn’t hate employing a strategy of calling TT+, AQs+, AK. Perhaps even dropping AQs.

If MP1 is only shoving 99+, AJs+, AQ+ then both 99 (-0.55bb) and AQs (-0.42bb) become pretty terrible calls while TT (+1.5bb) and AKo (+1.65bb) are still doing great.

If we widen the initial MP1 re-shove range to include 77, BB wins +0.31bb by calling with 88. I think it’s a bit too optimistic to expect that, especially since MP1 has to account for the deep stack in the SB.

I think the TT+, AK is the right range in practice.  The interesting thing is that only one player covers the second AI, so he is not really pushing 20BB, more like 15 in 90% of the cases.  If there were several covering stacks behind the 20BB, he’d have to be even tighter..
