Default ($27) ITM question, given blind

SB in this hand has been playing tight and well but seems to have just recently changed gears when the blinds went up. BB has also been playing well, and has pulled some tricky moves.

This is the action that occurred in the hand. If you were either player, what is your hand range? From the BB's perspective, your read is no better than the above. From the SB's perspective, you have seen the BB fold to several of these pushes. Button seems to be extremely weak tight.

PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t400 (3 handed) converter

SB (t7180)
BB (t5330)
Button (t990)

Preflop:
<font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, <font color="#CC3333">SB raises to t7155</font>, BB calls t4905 (All-In).

I make a lot of money when the bigstack overvalues their fold equity in these sorts of situations. What I was trying to explain with my first reply was my push range doesn't really open up that much here.

I think the theme of the week should be "FIRST PLACE EQUITY FOR THE MIDDLESTACK"

I'm sorry I quoted you twice but this scares me and makes me cry in real life. I mean some people push any two anyways, OK, I can get on with life. But this is just really really crazy, I think.

Someone please tell me if I AM the crazy one.

If this were for 10bb or less, I'd likely be calling with a wider range than for 14bb. That said, you're going for first place from here, and if you win the pot, you've got it. I'm pretty sure I'd be calling ax and kx here, assuming he has a history of making this kind of push with &gt; 10 (or 13) BB.
