Hello, i was training with sng wiz and experienced this situation. Why our pushing range is so narrow here ? And how sng wizard works ? What calculations are made ?

Wow, sick blinds

I guess you need to be so tight because you have hardly any fold equity

It's because their calling ranges are too wide, and there's also the chance that other guys collide and bust each other.

You have to take into account you can take -EV shoves in this spot though, because hitting the blinds take a huge part of your stack. I'd never fold Ax in this spot.

BB's calling range is good, other 2's WAAAAY too loose. Maybe 10%, 15% tops. Wizard is bad for spots like this since it doesn't take into account you are forced to go all in next hand with almost any2 which obviously makes your stack worth a lot less. My range is here is pretty much Ax, any broadway, any pair, most suited kings.

This. SNGWizard is assuming everyone is pushing and calling super wide if you fold (which may or may not be true). You have to fix these though and change them to what they are actually pushing and calling in these spots (for if you fold and for if you push). Even then SNGWizard won't take into account the fact that you have to post the BB next hand :).
