This is a fine open. Make sure you are aware before opening of the stacks and how you might react. In this case I think it’s close with no reads whatsoever I can find a fold button here. I think given the opponents range and the money already in the pot we have the equity to call so neither move is bad.

With no ICM implications I like calling here as we really have a huge stack if we win the pot.

I would like to ask wht range you put the opponent on here? I’d also poker stove tr spot if I wasn’t at work.

Yah I just got home and am Pokerstoving. We are looking at around 40ish -46% equity given the ranges I'm putting on him reshoving. This is obviously readless and I'm given the player credit for understanding what a reshove is. With the dead money already in the pot I think this justifies a shove but I'm not skilled mathwise to figure out the exact number. any help from others would be great.

if this is a turbo too like i think it is prolly even more so.

When I first read this my initial reaction was to say call as your hand plays well and can flop huge and obviously looks v pretty.

However, running the numbers through CallBot even with an extremely generous 20% shove range CallBot says 'No' and that you should fold, it is however v close with this range. If we tighten villains range a little to 15% its definite fold (15% looks like 55+, A2s+, KJs, QJs, A8o+, KQo) so fairly reasonable range.

So readless this is a Fold.

When I opened I was thinking it would suck to get 3bet by any of them, but still felt right to open to take blinds or maybe get a flat and see a flop.

I couldn't put the SB on a reship range at all as first hand at table and therefore went for the cautious fold.

Thanks for running the numbers and backing me up guys 🙂

it kinda has a feeling of a strong hand bcas he can see another round of the table for free other than the antes and try to find a better spot then a bluff or sc.

I would just jam here. Why open yourself to rejam when you can't call anyone except bb while readless? Opening looks just too steally. QJs 15bbs is a profitable shove and people folding lot of hands they tend to rejam.

Edit: sorry, i'm donky, missread the stacks. Opening ok, would fold to rejam.
