BTN: t4215.00 14.05 BBs - VPIP: 39, PFR: 6, 3B: 0, AF: 1.3, Hands: 90
SB: t1495.00 4.98 BBs - VPIP: 17, PFR: 14, 3B: 0, AF: 0.0, Hands: 271

Pre Flop: (t450) Hero is BB with T :heart: 9 :club:
2 folds, SB raises to t1470, Hero calls t1170

Flop: (t2940) 6 :diamond: 2 :spade: 5 :spade: (2 players)

Turn: (t2940) J :diamond: (2 players)

River: (t2940) Q :club: (2 players)

Was this call too loose? I called because we were on the bubble and this guy got really agro in the last couple of hands while being in SB vs me so I've decided to make a call and to see where he stands. On his side I think that shoving with K7 while having 5BB left is not a mistake what do you think?

I just recently learned this: Call much more tight but push just about anything from SB first in when blinds get big.

I don't think calling here is a good option...you are in a forced showdown in which you are behind as a 60/40 a majority of the time (as most people like to see at least a face card when they push). Heaven forbid he actually has a good hand and you're even more of an underdog.

Fold here and wait for a better spot.

If you think that sb will shove very wide i ll call this for only 3 bbs.You have 10 bbs so you have enough fe to steal the blinds in later hands.Moreover there are some hands that you dominate if he pushes very wide + if you see him as an aggro player then he propably will shove hands like 26s from sb.Wp for me!!!

Hi all,

This looks like the bottom of my calling range for 5bb. Nice hand well played.
