Preflop: ($0.03, 4 players) Hero is SB with A:heart: Q:spade:
1 fold, BTN raises to $0.91 (all-in), Hero calls $0.90, 1 fold

What is your calling range here? Button has TAG stats. For what range would a call be +EV?

I don’t have an answer to this, the main reason is that every player is different.

1. He is tight
2. Even tight he only has 45bb left, and this indicates he is not a reg, also it might indicate he is tilted by just losing a pot
3. Tight and shoving against laws of cash games with good hand can also indicate he is tourney player who shoves quite wide range here

So his range could be for example {66+,ATs+,KJs+,QJs,AJo+} with some randoms too. Against this range TT+,AK seems to do 50% and AQ is not far away. In practical standpoint this sound awfully tight, but then again so is the opener. I would probably auto call AQ,TT+, and after thinking probably AJ too.

Well, if you think he is a TAG he is not opening too wide and not shoving wide too. If you didn't see him doing that before and without much info, this is a fold, your calling range imo is QQ+, AKo+

The history of the few hands prior is important to understand if he is on tilt. If he's tilted I'd call this off, they aren't thinking rationally and will shove wide. If it came out of the blue I'd probably just fold unless I had TT JJ QQ KK AA AK

Its hard to tell at these stakes. In live, you can tell if someone wants to double up or go home. So maybe he is like that. I think overall AQ is fine to call with. I would call with JJ+ and AQs+ for sure.

Fold fold fold arrrrrgh

Even if I had KK I would probably fold if he is a tag.

Surprised you made that call with the stats you have!

you feelin lucky punk?...gee...in all the excitement i darn forgot how many bullets i fired.

what are you beating pre flop here? AJ / KQ sooted is the doubtful answer.

If you are looking to play a flip against 22-JJ then the call button is your daisy here.

i would range oppo with TT-AA and AK...thats about it.

As for my calling range here...lol...work it out ;)
