Blinds 600/1200 we are in the money - it's the £33 BH Main on Sky.

Table is 5 handed, we have 43k.

UTG we min raise. Folds to the BB who shoves 22k total, so 18 Bigs.

1) What is your calling range here UTG
2) From villians perspective what is your jamming range?

Player is quite tight.

I called with 8s , I think it's pretty close

Edit: Remembered there are no antes on Sky.

He has to be jamming pretty tight to consider folding here. Ie. 77+, AJ+. Would imagine small pairs eye you plenty.

88+ AQ+ solid enough for no antes and the nittyness of the regular sky poker punter

View from a rec. occasional tourney player on Sky. Guessing, could be wrong though, that you have a stack towards the top 25% of players, I would call much tighter and not be inclined to potentially take a flip for that amount of chips. Add in tight opponent possibly thinking " I should shove with premiums with my stack cos it looks weaker" and I tend towards preserving my stack.

Obv going to adjust rapidly if my opens keep getting shoved on.

I'm aware that I play too conservatively, but should it affect our decision if there are likely to be a lot of (possibly light) shoves from <15bb stacks and therefore opportunities to collect bounties at less risk to our overall standing in the tourney?

I personally think a jamming range from BB in this spot would be 88 through QQ & AJs+ as most other hands could call & see a flop i.e. suited connectors, suited broadways & suited Ax - however, that's just my opinion ;-)

It is totally villain dependent here but I'd say 99+ ako aqss
basic range with no reads I'd say and as u know I'm not normally on the tight side
