Hi!

Actually in this hand i'm the BB and there's no SB because the player to my right just busted. I know that it's a clear fold according to nash and according to Wiz this call becomes profitable only when he pushes more than 55% which he doesnt. But in the next hand i have to post sb and if i fold here i dont have any FE left and I'll blind out first. So, what to do?

You will still have a decent fold equity with 4,5 BBs. If you think he is not pushing enough, fold here and push one of the next two hands first in.

It's close.. I don't mind the call. It's your direct opponent and I don't think you will have a lot of FE. You're always pushing into a bigstack or a shortstack the next couple of hands. Villain might not be shoving 55% but he should be loose here.

If this is a tight table this gives you a lot of walks on your BB and doesn't call loose I favour a fold.

there is always a bigger fish

hmm tough spot. you should call wide here, but it wont be good against a tight pusher. reads on the 4k stack to your left would help. if you think you have FE on him then i would opt for a close fold to try get first in. if you are on an aggressive bubble, this could be a spot to take a slight negative call against your direct opponent. depends how tight he is. if hes on 35% then its only a slightly -ev call. if hes only pushing 15% then its a horrible call.
