In the bb is a very good regular, the bigstack uses his stack very well and seems solid as well.

In this spot, I would let the SB put in 900 chips to make the BB call with any two for his last 600 chips.

Once you shove and the SB overshoves, BB gets to fold and maybe get in the money if you bust, and this is definitely not what you want happening here.

interesting hand, I think a fold is optimal aswell.


yeah im only pushing premium here. QQ+ AK

the chances of the bb busting are just too high

This is a messy spot really.... Uggh... It's so close for me... SB would have to be calling pretty tight to make this a decent shove IMO... I'm happy enough with the hand vs BB, so if SB will call tight, and seeing as you're read has him as fairly solid... I think I like the push.....

Hi all,

Generally when the 2 opponents that are relevant to pushes (ie SB and BB) are both good, the ranges Nash gives will be more or less correct. So here pushing according to Nash is indeed the best option (in fact we can push a bit looser because Nash does not take into account the fact that the big blind is hitting us next). Nash automatically takes into account the chances of SB busting BB if we fold.
