Call Shove Chart
Hey guys,
Although I already learned pushing ranges, I sometimes have difficulties to determine if I should call shoves with boarderline hands.
That's why I am looking for a good Call Shove Chart, which displays exactely the hands and the amount of big blinds I have to call in regards to the position, where villain shoved from.
Thanks in advance for your help!

There are no such charts, since you would need a different range for every position of the pusher and for his stack sizes, and then for your position and all the stack sizes. Ranges here differ are lot. You have to learn to estimate the calls. If not sure mark the hands in the session and calc it later in ICMIZER or HRC
You can look at Nash shove ranges and figure out what would be profitable calls with a program like Equilab. It has a cool feature (can't remember exact name but it functions like goal seek in excel) that tells you exactly what hands have at least X equity against certain ranges. You can also widen or tighten villain's range depending on reads.
I'm barely scratching the surface of MTT math and ICM calcs so not sure what kind of equity we should be looking for vs. various stack sizes, and I think it would change significantly based on stage of tourney and our own stack size (and structure, need much less equity in a turbo).
Rough guess is we standardly want >=57% vs 18bb+ shove range when we are big blind, and more if there are players left to act/we have less invested. As villain's stack shrinks we can likely take some spots where we are as low as 40% vs their range, and vs <5bb I think we call any two in BB (assuming antes are in play).
Keep in mind I've only started learning this stuff so may be wayyyyy off, and would be interested what better MTTers have to say on the subject.
