BTN facing a LJ open at 25 BB
The lojack opens to 2 BB and the action reaches the button with 25 big blinds. The book folds 82% of hands, calls with 9.7%, 3-bets to 5 BB with 5.7% and goes all-in with 2.9%.
Always 3-bet: AA, AKs.
Always all-in: JTs.
Always call: AJs, ATs, ATo, A9s, A7s, KQs, KQo, KJs, KJo, QJo, QTs, 77.
The button is in position against the raiser and only the blinds are left behind, which is why it calls far more often than the blinds do.
