Cant figure out whats the best play in this situation. Playing with these stacks and having AJs in EP feels weak to fold here, even if sngwiz shows -0.15% Diff. Nash is (13.7%, 88+ A7s+ A5s-A2s ATo+ KTs+ KJo+ QTs+ JTs) which I think is a bit too wide from EP with these stack sizes and blinds. Would it be better to omr and call shorties and fold vs bigger stacks? Or this would be mistake because bigger stacks could shove over with weaker aces and pp.

I would use 2 range in this spot: openshove some pocketpairs aka 88, and limp everything else what you want to play (~ TT+, A9s+, AJo+, QJs+, KQo, mb wider. With these stack, if you mr, you are giving your opponents good risk-to-reward ratio to resteal. So limping range instead of standard mr range gives sense to mee. ) Mr may be good if you faceing passive fishes who dont resteal, but call minraises.
disclaimer: Im little bit experimenting with these limp from EP, Im still not sure if/when its correct, so mb my advice is bullshit.

Hi all,

Not a huge fan of limping here as it just gives the BB too good an opportunity to see the flop with his 40% equity against our hand. People here do not defend wide enough, so I like a minraise. +1 to shoving medium pocketpairs.
