SB wins $4,232

Villain is a good Reg with 23/18 and raise1st from SB of 51% over decent sample. But here I'm CL and he is 2nd so he might be a bit tighter. I've talked to him because I thought his call was bad under the asumption that I'll almost exlucsively have pps here (some hands like ATo, KQo, SCs maybe from time to time). He said he called because he expected me to reshove a lot hands like 98s there. But I think I would have just called these hands most of the time, because there are no antes in play and we are 21BB deep. So risk/reward isn't very good and variance is high. Is it a leak to call those hands so often in those spots? Would you reshove for example 98s there? And how do you like his call?
thanks

It makes no sense to shove broadways or suited connectors here 21bb deep versus small raise. It would be waste of hand that plays well postflop and waste of position. Plus your risk:reward for shove is not great as you say.

One good side for him is that your range is likely capped. Meaning you would likely not shove hands like 99+ or AJ+? Actually I would tend to barely have shove range. Prefer to flat or make small 3bet with most of hands.

So with A8o I would personally tend to minraise-fold or sometimes 4bet shove versus small 3bet. Best he can hope from good reg is to be flipping versus small to medium pocket. With ICM tax that is obviously not wanted.

those hands are better to flat. but it is also important to be balanced in your ranges vs regs. mix it up.

I think his r/c is borderline. Probably a better fold vs you, but could be a very easy call vs some regs.

I think 21 BB deep and assuming there are some fish on the table its a pretty bad call, unless he thinks you are an absolute shoving maniac, since I think you would have to shove way looser than 98s here to make his call at least breakeven.
