SnG bubble: shorstacked calling cutoff line
The situation: you're shorstacked on the bubble (say <12BBs) and you and your opponents are getting increasingly aggressive. All of you are regularly making all in moves with sub-par hands to steal blinds and pots. I have a clear idea of what to push with at this point (for me it's just about anything), but don't with what to call with.
Your opponents' hand ranges are now huge, and you should adjust your calling requirements. But where do you draw the line for calling an all in for all your chips right before the money? Any ace? only A-face? What about kings and queens? any pair? I ask because I don't think my 'line' is in the right space for calling requirements and I need to adjust it. |

Assuming your opponents are all roughly equal bigger stacks who know what they're doing on the bubble and you have ~10bbs something like 66+, A8+, KJ+, maybe QJs seems about right. If anything, that is probably a little loose. The shorter your stack, the wider your calling range, obviously.
You can't call too liberally because there is so much more value in these situations in being the first person in rather than calling for all your chips. |
