IPoker, $1 Buy-in (150/300 blinds)

CO: 2,105 (7 bb)
BTN: 3,640 (12.1 bb)
SB: 1,820 (6.1 bb)
Hero (BB): 3,690 (12.3 bb)
UTG: 1,790 (6 bb)
MP: 1,955 (6.5 bb) --- good reg

Preflop: Hero is BB with A 5
UTG folds, MP raises to 1,955 and is all-in, 3 folds Hero?

What is a bottom range of a call here?

Thanks.

Kinda depends os villian steal range... But you can call with a wide range vs a reg. Maybe K5s, Q7s+, J9s+, any PP, any A.

Why he shudnt b too loose on this spot? Imo he should push a big range there. Why a good reg play on those spots more thight?

1. its a $1 tournament so u dont find really good regs, they wud just waste ev on these stakes.
2. it will never ever be +ev to call q7s in that spot.

ur range is chipburning. im pretty sure every decent player at whatever stakes will confirm that. ingame i wud probably sometimes call at in this spot. but i dont see him pushing too loose right here. wait for a judge, but calling a5 here is a huge leak.

Hi all,

You should fold because villain pushed from such an early position. If he pushed from the small blind when it was folded to him we should call a very wide range. By definition regulars are more positionally aware, so we need to factor this in when deciding whether we can call.
