UTG: t4415 M = 9.81
MP: t962 M = 2.14
CO: t2635 M = 5.86
BTN: t2657 M = 5.90
SB: t2012 M = 4.47
Hero (BB): t819 M = 1.82

Pre Flop: (t450) Hero is BB with 3♦ 5♦
1 fold, MP raises to t600, 4 folds

Villain is weak reg. I was thinking he sees that I will call very wide and because of that he pushes tighter than he is supposed to be. His nash is 30%, to which I should call 53s, kinda the bottom of it. Opinions?

Also, a bit OFF: in my last 2 posted hands the converter gave us BBs and now Ms, why is that? I'm using the same dconverter, haven't even closed the window. (handconverter.com) I can't find any setting for that. Thanks :f_p:

Cause with extra 150 chips from antes in pot you have 300 true BB instead of 200. handconverter.com uses M when antes come to play but I prefer true BBs cause it's easier to count. :)

About the hand.

From ICM Explorer:

Equity needed: 34,99%
Chip odds: 32,32%
Risk premium: 2,67%

You're very little risk averse so I would call here. Especially when next hand you'd have 1,5 true bb left behind after posting small blind so you're even more screwed

@ dydukas: Aaaa, thanks for the enlightening about the converter :f_grin:

About the hand, yea I'm obviously not expecting FE or anything like that but I will probably get a better hand and I was thinking I'd rather let go of the extra 400-ish chips cos this hand is really weak.

Well, if we can expect the shortie to push nash here then I'm obviously making a mistake.

Question is that - according to your experiences - how regs act when they have a small stack AND they push into an even smaller, committed-ish stack.

At least in my games I think short regs push wider into another shortie in bb. And it's profitable cause if a fish is bb he doesn't adjust when blinds are high. A lot fish don't even understand when they have to call any 2 due to odds. And against other regs they don't adjust that much on low stakes. Stars may be different cause skill level is better there on the whole I guess.

I agree with this entirely. A reg that recognises you may tighten up a bit here but for the most part regs are going to be wider than Nash in this spot.
