Sick bubble call

[45suited]

This was the minimum hand I think I should have called with here:

Seat 10 is the button
Total number of players : 4
Seat 5: thpokerman ( $255 )
Seat 10: BillyDick60 ( $4525 )
Seat 7: HERO ( $1035 )
Seat 9: qbler101 ( $2185 )

Blinds(100/200)

** Dealing down cards **
Dealt to HERO [Qs Qh ]
qbler101 folds.
BillyDick60 raises [1100].
thpokerman folds.
HERO is all-In [835]

SB had 155 left after posting.

Unless big stack was literally never raising, I'd call here pretty much 100% of the time. But you're right, not with much less, maybe jacks.

What's the buy-in?
If this is one of the low levels ($22-33) like I play, I'd even call with JJ and expect to be way ahead most times.

Sorry, it was a PP $11.

Button actually had a better hand than I expected. He had A6o, my hand held up.

What's the worst hand to call with here? JJ would have been borderline... yuck. I probably would have called with JJ as well due to the ridiculous probable raising range of bigstack. I hate folding when the shorty then has the freedom to call with any two and get lucky... next thing you know, I'm in a dogfight for 3rd. Hell, I don't know...

At an $11, this is very likely to NOT be any two. Any ace, any pair and a smattering of other hands at a good guess -- unless you know pusher to be a good player. I call there with JJ+, AK-AQ (because of the high likelihood I'll see an ace).

At a $22, similar but remove AQ. At a $33 or $55, QQ+ only. I don't play any higher than that, but at higher limits, I might actually add JJ back in (because of the drastically increased likelihood raiser is on any two).

Never in a million years would I call with AK or AQ here.

If you had played with this Villian before and you thought he was pushing any A any K 88+ would you call with AK?

doubtful.

i just recently started experimenting with sngs and i am only playing 109 and 215s. the people i have come accross aren't as inventive as you might like to otherwise believe.

in a steal situation like this, i doubt he will raise too liberally. he would most likely leave the SB to hero if he doesn't have much of a hand. IMO. if he is smart by any measure.

I think the higher the buy in, the more likely it is that you are way ahead here.
