How should I react in these kind of spots? Assuming villain is unknown, no particular reads acquired and you believe it's his first SB raise 3x or minraise..
When I'm the clear big stack or short stack I have no problem in shoving here.. or we are not yet close or on the bubble I can make a "nitty" fold.. or I've seen him doing this many times then it's an easy decision.. or if villain just play the push/fold thing it's an easy call..
But here we are on the bubble .. ? So do I have to treat this as a push and then assign him a average range? and call based on my +$ev calling range for that particular "average pushing range"? ..
(I know that reads are very crucial here but like I said in those cases where you don't have them..)
