SNG 6max 0.5€ KJo calling on BB?

If you fold this villain should open any2.

I'd definitely defend here

where is the line to raise any2? how much should we at least defend to deny that? I doubt that the opponents on the limits exploit that.

Well when villain uses 2.25bb size he needs to get it through half of time or more for auto profit. If SB shoves e.g. 20% range then we would need to play roughly 40% to not give auto profit for BU.

that mean anybody who defends less than 40% you should open any2 in the BU? I think thats smth we shoul mark i our stats to see. Is that correct?

There is a stat for these situations and yes it useful. But you have to take SB and BB into account.

Lets say:
SB fold to steal: 60%
BB fold to steal: 90%

SB fold equity + BB fold equity = (60/100) * (90/100) = 54% required fold equity.

I think this formular should work.

Just for completeness:

Preflop:
SB + BB post blinds: Pot = 1.5bb
Hero (Button): Raise(Steal) 2.5bb Pot = 4bb

Risk = 2.5bb
Reward = 1.5bb

2.5bb / (2.5bb + 1.5bb) * 100 = 62.5% required fold equity

Yeah I like to keep fold BB to steal as one of hud stats. Tells decently quickly of villain tendencies.

In my example I took antes in account so there is 2.25bb from antes and blinds and villain used that sizing as open. Though minraise is enough with these shallow stacks. So if SB folds 80% and BB 60% then BU will get folds 0.8 * 0.6 * 100 = 48% of time.

BTW as ontopic with KJo hero should never fold in this spot. Shoving would be my default option as hand is bit on strong side to just call and check-fold unimproved. Also it has nice blockers and decent equity versus calling range.
