I come across these situations very often, and not always sure what to do. We are on the BB and an unknown limps either from early,mid or late position and it is folded to us. I push with A 10+ 99+ here.

How wide do you push here, or how do you change your pushing range according to stats and postition of the guy who limped ? I think the ideal stats for such a push are smthng like 30/15, but when I see eg. 35/0, im afraid the guy doesnt raise his stronger hands and just limps. Should I just use SnG wizard to calculate this? When I use SnG wizard I somehow always get tighter results and than I'm surprised by how aggressively other people play it.

thanks :)

Hey!

No, Wiz is not great for getting a feel of these spots. You have to adjust a limpers range, as he will limp hands like 67s but he won't limp K7o for example.

Anyway, it breaks down to what he calls with. The best scenario is when you have 12-13 bbs imo. The position of the limper is of paramount importance. If he is UTG, I'd go with a more value range (but still wider than ATo+, 77+ - you can safely go with something like A9+ A7s 55+ maybe KQs), but if the limper is from BU or SB then you can go with a healthy 30-40%.
Usually. If he fails to fold KJo or A8o type of hands (so you see him calling these) then make a note and tighten up significantly.

As for the notes, it's pretty hard to break it down to VPIP/PFR. Ofc someone with 0ish PFR on a decent sample is not a good target, but what we have to look at is how spewy our opponent is. I'm not sure how stats can reflect that. If he has some extreme stats like 50/30 or whatever he is likely to be spewy but I'd generally suggest noting down spewy moves. Not necessarily the whole move, just "spewy" is enough at times. Spewy villains are not good of a target. If villain has sense and he just likes to see flops but backs off when feels resistance - most fishes are like this imo - then he is the ideal opponent. An easy 40% shove if he limped from late position.

How do you change your range if you are on the button and there is a late position limper before you? assuming the same situation as above, we are just on the Button.

eg. if we push 50 % from the Button here, how wide would you push if there is a limper on the HI?
