Hello,
A player in BB just lost an all-in and is extremely short. The player shoving from BTN is a known regular and since we are almost on the bubble I decided to treat this spot as the BB has already busted and it is somewhat blind vs blind situation with reg, thus I call. Or would you in general fold here?

PKR, $20 Buy-in (1,000/2,000 blinds, 200 ante) No Limit Hold'em Tournament, 4 Players
Poker Tools Powered By Holdem Manager - The Ultimate Poker Software Suite.

Hero (SB): 15,080 (7.5 bb)
BB: 4,640 (2.3 bb)
CO: 24,840 (12.4 bb)
BTN: 15,440 (7.7 bb)

Preflop: Hero is SB with 3 A
CO folds, BTN raises to 15,240 and is all-in, Hero calls 13,880 and is all-in, BB calls 2,440 and is all-in

Flop: (35,000) 8 2 A (3 players, 3 are all-in)
Turn: (35,000) 6 (3 players, 3 are all-in)
River: (35,000) J (3 players, 3 are all-in)

You cannot think this spot with logic like that. In BvB spot villain assumes you will fold good amount of time. Here he should not assume any fold equity. So his shoving range will be tighter and you will end up in 3way pot almost always.

Checked with HRC and iif villain shoves 41.3%, 22+ Ax+ K2s+ K5o+ Q4s+ Q8o+ J7s+ J9o+ T8s+ 98s you can call around 10.7%, 66+ A8s+ A9o+ KQs. A3o would be -3.66% of pricepool.

PS: Assuming 65/35 price pool. If its more top heavy then you can go for bit wider range, but A3o would still be easy fold.

Thanks for the response.
In fact I am quite surprised to see that I have to be so tight in this spot. I thought that A3o somewhere close ))
