I am covering the SB so I am not worried about the shove. However BU is a fish and this kind of re-raise instead of a shove seems awkward and first time I see him doing it. BU obviously won't fold to my shove so I have 0 FE. I can narrow BU range to AK; AQ, TT-AA; if really loose then also KQs, QJs, AJs, AJo, ATs.
Pokerstove shows that I am a slight underdog CO 46.94% 46.25% 0.70% ThTs
BU 53.06% 52.36% 0.70% TT+, ATs+, KJs+, QJs, AJo+, KQo
When I narrow this range to 5% it is getting even worse.
If BU pushed it would have been an easy call. But in this case I was trying to convince myself that my call with TT would have been a marginal one.

With two small stacks after you I would like to see a push there instead of a raise. This eliminates the reshove factor.

Most of the times you will get the blinds and even if you do get called you are mostly a favorite.

I dont like the raise because it gives the opponent the chance to reraise and give you the option to fold.

IMO in the long term pushing would be more $EV than min raising there.

If I had 13BB or less I would agree. With 15BB I can extract more value by raising. I would have made a call if BU pushed instead of raising. What made me to fold here is because BU's unusual behaviour as I consider him a fish. But let's wait what others have to say :)

You have 13bb effective stack in this hand. Players behind you do not have 15bb so you should play this hand like you have 13bb. My standard play would be to minraise (or raise small) and call. Now that BU does this sort of small 3bet and SB comes in the pot as well we should just fold. With this sort of stack depth these small 3bets are very often mark of strength and I would read it like that without some spewy aggro fish reads on him.

Plus depending of SB he should have tight range versus this action even if he is short stack. So his range does have meaning as well though we still do play sizable side pot with BU. But I would assume BU to have too tight range with his line.

So openshove with 13BB effective stack here would be a mistake?

And their ranges were tight indeed.

Openshoving is obviously going to win us money, but I think raising our full range is superior.
