Default An interesting case of the Gap Concept

A hand from the 2+2 Atlantic Trout. So we know the SB isn't a complete donk. What range of hands do you put him on here?

PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t50 (9 handed) converter

UTG (t1362)
UTG+1 (t1387)
MP1 (t1555)
MP2 (t1810)
MP3 (t1215)
CO (t1465)
Button (t1450)
SB (t1335)
Hero (t2096)

Preflop: Hero is BB with A[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], J[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img].
<font color="#666666">7 folds</font>, <font color="#CC3333">SB raises to t1335</font>,

Do you mean "An OBVIOUS case of the Gap Concept"? Even if you put him on something like any pair or AT+ I don't see how this is a call, and I can't see him pushing with anything worse than that.

i dont find this to be very interesting, I have 50 chips in and have over 2000. The blinds are too small to even consider calling this.

wrong, you have 0 chips. there are 50 chips in the pot which were once yours.

there is some dead money in the pot.

i wouldn't call here either, fwiw.

Do you really think his range is that good? Why would he push with that?

It doesnt really matter what his range is, you are only a 63.6% fav against a random hand and I would like to believe he has better than a random hand.

For a 2+2 game it is a good spite call but with so low blinds, I fold this.

Yes but I am taking the very best hands out of his range. Why would he push with AA-JJ? AK-AQ? This is a 2+2 tournament so he knows I'm not a total donk. I feel like I am *at worst* a coinflip and I could easily have him dominated.
