hey i did math and my post got lost earlier.

you need like 1.85:1 which means like 35% equity. It takes a lot for you to not have that on this type of board.

Here's the range I threw together. (88, 99, 55, AhTh, 98s, 67s, KhJh, KhTh, QhJh, KhQh, QhTh, K9s, A9s, TJh)

That's sets, top pair, flush draws+overs, combo draws, whatever.

You're 39% to that range. Stacks aren't really good for him to flat from the sb unless he also thinks bb squeezes often, but you didn't mention an aggro bb so i'm assuming it's just readless other than you know him to be an abc reg. even if he has all combos of JJ (meaning he doesn't 3b there ever), you're still 34% making it a lot closer.

there aren't anymore hands we can add to his range that hurt your equity further other than overpairs, but we've established his range is sort of stuck to be capped because honestly can he really slowplay monsters in the sb giving the bb an amazing price to complete with a huge monster crushing range? he'll have an spr of 4 oop 3-ways so much of the time, so i think his call is what it says. it's not monsters. so there ya go.

ya dude! if it seems overwhelming, a decent place to start is to just think about a few of the hand types instead of all hands.

like he has flush draws, top pairs, straights, sets instead of all of the hand combos and then calculating your equity. when youre this shallow, it's really difficult for me to find folds with decent hands on these boards because the ck/shove flop line is pretty easy to think to do if theyre at all thinking.

we all have a ton to learn 🙂

they can't play small pots though. spr is 4. the money's going in and if they happen to flop top pair, how are they playing it? at that stack size, they can't check/call down with an extremely vulnerable top pair. they can't check/call with all of the flush draws. check out the math dude 🙂

what do you mean when you say ripping on the flop? if you mean simply shoving all in when he checks to us, no no that's completely unnecessary because you'll just end the hand when you're ahead, lose the hand when you're behind, and get called when you're not in the best shape to hold. to be honest, i'm totally happy with the bet/call line on the flop because it's really really easy for villain's to ck/shove wide (wide enough that we're still correct to call). This spot's high variance when they shove over, but the difference between our equities is our edge overall. It shows itself in idk slightly better than coinflips where majority the time we have a bigger stack and 1- majority of the time we have the small stack. this is one of the hand types where we're talking about when were like “oh you just need to run good to win tourneys”
