I think he's talking specifically about the limp-push line taken here by the villain. But I've seen it often enough by mid-pairs to say it's probably not AA/KK 80%.

I think the BB pushed so this is not a limp-push.

If UTG limps and then pushes to a raise.... I am seriously concerned. BB push ... less concerned. UTG strong hands are concerned about not getting any callers so they limp with monsters, once raised they push.

I posted some first round all-in data about a week ago. My sample was small but it did show some really low hands going allin in level one.

here they are...
I did not have all that many SNG's in my Pokertracker DB. From what I did have I grabbed the hands from all the times that players went all-in and were called by another player in level one on party.

Here are they hands. They are paired or tripled for hands that are from the same all-in event. These are what they are pushing or calling a push with in level one.

Looks like a coinflip more often than KK or AA.

I would bet that first hand stats are even crazier than level one in general.

First level deserves some special consideration, they are crazy then.
