I was playing in a cardschat freeroll yesterday when the following happened. UTG+1 (~40BB which is a good stack) limped and everybody else folded and it comes to me in the small blind, I look down at K10o with 15BB. I decide to jam on the basis I can increase my stack by ~20% , BB is playing very tight despite being short stacked and I figure I'm good against the UTG+1 limping range.
BB does fold, but UTG+1 calls with AQo and wins the hand as expected.
I don't know whether or not my play was right , but I did make an error not accounting for the fact that UTG+1 may also have very strong hands in their range because many players are getting short stacked and they can profitably call a jam instead of just taking the blinds. We are in the stage where several of players on the table are in push/fold mode.
In order to calculate this (and what hands I should jam with) I'd need to be able to construct a range working out what sort of hands could be included in this range ,assuming we have no history of this player.
What should I expect the early position limper to have in this situation ? just premium hands they want to call with, a polarised mixture or something different?
