Re: Comments and Results
 
In a 22 I don't see BB ever folding A9s or A10+. Thats the problem with low buyin's, every donk sees every all in as a bluff.. I guess I would evaluate my table image and make my decision based on that.

That was a terrible call by the BB. It would be a bad call even if your cards were face up.

I would, however, call with any Ace or any pair if I was shortie on the Button.

It's not quite "unexploitable" but I can't see the BB calling more than 22+,A2+,K7o+,K2s+,QTo,Q9s+,JTs.. can you?

I can. Not the first time you push, but at least at the 33s, I wish I had a dollar for every time I got called by something like J5o just because someone got tired of my pushes the fourth or fifth time around. (This may just be a product of the freakishly long bubbles I've been finding myself playing lately, that they even have long enough to get frustrated at it, but these things happen.)

Not that I mind in that case, but I definitely can see a calling range wider than that, yes.

I've been getting spite-called by low and middle suited connectors.... I was abusing the bubble yesterday wih around 1/2 the chips on the table, and one guy called my push who was in a comfortable third (>10BBs) with a tiny 4th place chip stack about to be allin on the blinds. He had 67 suited and I had 4s. After he spiked a seven to double up, he said, "Don't you know Doyle Brunson says low pocket pair go broke against suited connectors?"

Of course you'll run into this stuff occasionally. Guys like that help make us winning players.
