Blind v Blind

Folds to SB, he minraises to 4k. BB shoves for 42k (just under avg stack) blinds 1k/2k. BB has 77.

SB has A10 and snaps.

Is the SB snapcalling here all day long or is this a terrible call?

Bubbles burst, 35 paid, 26 left. $33+1R1A MTT.

Edit: SBs stack is 70k, so it's for 4/7ths of his stack. BB has a pretty nitty image (500 hands on each other at various MTT's)

It's a bit read dependent, but it's only 20 bb stacks. All these decisions are really marginal and easy to find reasoning going both ways imo.

Me personally I would never want to be on the calling side of it, I would prob fold, esp if I had a decent sized stack like that.

standard both players

I thought minraise from SB is not std. and is bad

shoving is standard for 77 and calling the shove is standard for AT
I generally like 2.2xorwhatever more than minraise but AT is such a good hand in 20 bb blind vs blind that you're fine with inducing lighter shoves, or even playing it oop if he just calls.

in fact I kinda like just calling with AT from BB with 20bb because soo many players just autopush a huge range then - normally wouldn't do it in the first orbit though.

you mean in a hypothetical situation?

If BB is fairly nitty can't we argue for a fold here at sb? he's sitting on almost 40 bb's and can certainly pick up better spots in the future.

bb has 21 blinds, and AT is absolute nuts bvb this deep, so I cant see a fold here.

AT is a snapcall especially considering how much of his range you have dominated ... tons of Ax and Tx
