Yeah I'm fine with calling here when the villain is so low. He's got enough overcards in his range for us to flip for such a small part of our stack. Although that said, I'm not that good a player so some of the regs might come along and be like: dude, wtf?

Normally I'd shove here to keep the BB out but since the BB is so tight I think that calling will be fine too.

Shove, calling is asking the BB to come along, we don't want him to come along..

we don't really care about the button or his "tight" range, he's too short.
