Hi everyone,

here I have 88 and the SB decides to push. Usually I would almost snap call with 88, since I have less than 8 BB left. But the SB is megatight with a VPIP and PFR of 4% and this was just the second hand he played in this SnG. Due to ICMIZER he has to push almost 10% (55+, A9s+, ATo+), making a call with 88 +EV. While reviewing this hand I think his range could be even a little bigger, so that I should call in this spot. What do you think?

PokerStars - 75/150 NL - Holdem - 7 players
Hand converted by PokerTracker 4

SB: 7.9 BB (VPIP: 3.77, PFR: 3.85, 3Bet Preflop: 0.00, Hands: 53)
Hero (BB): 7.7 BB
UTG: 14.5 BB (VPIP: 11.97, PFR: 10.00, 3Bet Preflop: 1.75, Hands: 147)
UTG+1: 11.9 BB (VPIP: 16.67, PFR: 10.34, 3Bet Preflop: 0.00, Hands: 30)
MP: 14.07 BB (VPIP: 29.49, PFR: 17.11, 3Bet Preflop: 6.45, Hands: 78)
CO: 23.13 BB (VPIP: 27.59, PFR: 20.69, 3Bet Preflop: 0.00, Hands: 30)
BTN: 10.8 BB (VPIP: 14.94, PFR: 11.63, 3Bet Preflop: 2.86, Hands: 89)

SB posts SB 0.5 BB, Hero posts BB 1 BB

Pre Flop: (pot: 1.5 BB) Hero has 8♦ 8♥

fold, fold, fold, fold, fold, SB raises to 7.9 BB and is all-in, Hero???

It's difficult to fold, but i think that is the best decision. If it's the first hand that he shoves and you didn't see him making some crazy play, the best scenario that i see is AK or AQ

It’s that we are dealing with a nit, but even then, I can’t fold 88 against a SB shove. Even the range you gave the SB seems tight to me with ICMIZER 2. I would shove at least any pair if I was in the SB for almost 8bb effective.

Cheers,

This is not the range I gave him, but the minrange that makes a call profitable. But I also think that he is pushing wider than that amd I should have called here.

Thanks for your replies
