This is actually a spot I find myself in all the time, I've a habit of snap calling a 5BB SB push. I'm not entirely sure what sort of ranges I should be calling here with. In the example I definitely think I called it too loose.

Would a range of 22+, Ax, K9s, KTo, Q9s, QTo, J9s, JTo, T9s be a more appropriate calling stance?

I'm getting approximately 64% calling range from the pot odds on a call, so if the Villain has two lower unsuited cards than mine a call is pretty borderline. 66% - 34%.

What is the correct line to take here?

Villains stats for above are 21/17. With a 50% push range from the SB over a small sample.

I like call versus this villain. From stats he seems to be decent player I would assume to shove very wide in this spot. Maybe even any2 or close to it. If he is close to any2 then this hand is snap call.

Him shoving that hand makes our call good. If you are calling with close to any2 versus 5bb SB shoves in general then you are definitely too loose.
