Opponent was playing about 20pfr 21vp (small sample). I thought he might fold alot of his range here, given his stack size. I have started doing this recently wih most +ev hands against these stack sizes. I'm starting to think I might be a bit out of control with it, as I am behind most of the time when he calls here. I think i'd feel safer with shoving 78s here, atleast I have a decent chance against the overpairs.
Any advice is much appreciated, What would your play be here?, or does anyone knows a video that might help me with this?..

1. Define an open raise range for villain for example 20%.
2. Define an callrange for villain for example 10% (77+, ATs+, KTs+, QTs+, AJo+, KQo)
3. Define an overcallrange for other villains for example 6% (88+,AQs+,AQo+)
4. Calculate your FE and EV
If villain is opening 20% and calls 10% he folds 10/20=50% of the times.
So 50% of the times you gain 500+250+125 (+ Ante) = 0.5*875 =438
50% of the times villain is going to call, so in that case you calculate your equity vs his callrange.
66 has 40% vs the callrange I mention above.
So 50% of the times you have 40% equity to win = 0.5(0.4*(3335+250+125))= 742
And 50% of the times you have 60% equity to lose = 0.5(0.6*-3335)= -1000
So your EV vs villain is 438+742-1000= +180. Including overcallranges it isn't +ev

Sorry didn't put the blind level, it's 100/200 no ante.
Thanks for the reply mate. It is just what I needed to get my head back on track.
I didn't understand the math fully, but you have shown me what I need to learn next.
I just ran it through Equilab, and it tells me i'm +ev against his range with 88+, A9s+ and A10os+ against this players pf raise. I'll proably adjust here a little too as he raised utg.
Thanks again, this really helped…
