i am not sure 77 can call 13BB push .on blinds battle , if you are SB ,any pp should push with 13BB.but if you are BB,i think 77 is the bottom of calling range . calling range :77+,AJs+

Hey,
It depends how big his steal is, but this guy seems loose. So it will be a snap. If he pushes nash then we should call 19% (33+ A2s+ A7o+ KTs+ KTo+ QJs).

Unfortunately I didn`t study the Nash pushing ranges yet, but according to your feedback my call was not wrong here. Thanks :)

Good call. When he shoves with 14bb I would take out most premium hands from his shove range. He is not shoving hand like KK for sure. 99 is probably biggest pair hand he is shoving. Maybe TT.

Well usually I would not assume villain to shove nash range here. Most won't do that for 14bb. For good reasons as well.

Usually SB is not shoving his premium hands either. Quite many would raise small with hands like AT+ and 88+ to induce hero to resteal shove. Now if hero is not shoving much and is more call happy then SB might go for shove with hands like 88 or 99 as they are not going to be that nice to play out of position postflop. But most of time it's safe to assume that SB is not shoving AQ+, TT+ anyway.

So his shove range is likely to have more of those small and medium pockets and weak/mediocre Ax hands, because those are hard to play postflop. So with those assumptions good calling range would then be something like 55+, A8+. Hands that dominate his likely shoving range decently. 77+, AJ+ would be bit too tight considering that villain seems loose.

Now if we assume that villain is also shoving those broadway hands and so on then we can start adding few more pairs, Ax and strong broadway hands in our calling range. But only good reason for villain to shove hand like QJo would be that we resteal wide enough that he would start to be exploited by raise-folding or limp-folding such hands.

Hopefully that helped to shed some light for this spot :)
