Hi!
I am a satellites player (SNGs starting with 10 BBs) and I am trying to figure how wide the Big Blind is calling me when I shove on him from the small blind position.
I tried the following stats, but I don't think the numbers are correct.
Fold BB vs Steal From Small Blind Hero
BB call vs SB Hero
Questions:
1. Does an open shove count as a steal?
2. Is there a way to have the "BB call vs SB Hero" - BB calls limp from SB Hero
Thank you in advance!

1. Yes.
2. BB calls limp? You mean BB calls shove from SB hero right?
This stat doesn't exist in HM1.
In HM2 the closest stat is: BB Call vs SB Hero (but this is not necessarily vs a 'shove')
And there is a SB Open Shove (9-14 big blinds) stat.
But not a Call vs SB Open Shove (9-14 big blinds) stat

Thank you Patvs for the quick answer!
When you say "In HM2 the closest stat is: BB Call vs SB Hero (but this is not necessarily vs a 'shove')", does "BB Call" include checking behind the SB limping?

No, it's only calling a raise.
There is no real stat for how often the big blind will check.
HM2 does have a stat how often the big blind will raise, if the small blind limps.

I am a bit confused. May I ask what is the difference between the two stats?
Fold BB vs Steal From Small Blind Hero
BB call vs SB Hero
Thanks again!

BB Call vs SB Hero (=basically BB Call vs a raise from the SB Hero)
A steal is not the same as a raise.
It only qualifies as a steal, if the player is first to act. (there cannot be any limpers already in the hand)
With a 'raise', other players who limped in earlier positions are allowed. So if under the gun limps, the small blind raises (or shoves)... and the big blind folds, it qualifies as a BB Fold vs SB Hero (but not as a Fold BB vs Steal From Small Blind Hero)

Makes sense now :). Thank you again!
