They're both pretty definitive calls, but be aware that the EV of these calls slopes steeply relative to hand ranges of both you and your opponents.

How can you not have reads at 100/200 level, for god's sake?

tiger is constructive.


to the hand, AQo, I'd call against his range of pushing hands its likely you have him dominated or are ahead.

the JJ looks like an easy call.

[Percussion]

PUSH BOTH HANDS INSTANTLY

[z32fanatic]

I would call/push both. JJ instantly and AQ after about 5 seconds

[tigerite]

Well readless definitely I'd call both, of course.

[EasilyFound]

Is the AQ hand a clear call on the bubble because of the stack sizes here? If one of the other two players had a smaller stack size, say 700, would calling still be correct? I know I've read some threads saying that you need to be at least a 65% favorite to call a push on the bubble. There will be times when you're a favorite here, but won't there be times when villain has a pair and you are beind? I'm just trying to reconcile the comments on various threads.
