Hi Guys,
This is my first forum post I am after a bit of input on the below hand, the BB have been very passive so far, however he has gone into preflop push mode for the past 3/4 hands.
If the blinds where higher then I would insta call as played not sure if a call is correct here this is the preflop range i generally assign:
equity win tie pots won pots tied
Hand 0: 45.270% 44.80% 00.47% 242417090 2534667.00 { 2c2s }
Hand 1: 54.730% 54.26% 00.47% 293601640 2534667.00 { QQ-33, A2s+, K2s+, A3o+, KTo+ }
doesnt look good, but I hate to fold and be card dead for the next 10-20 hands whilst he is in push mode.
Any advise on how to handle these spots would be appreciated.

It really depends on what sort of range your opponent is shoving. If he is shoving premiums only then a fold is probably better than a call. If he has bluffs like T7dd and Q5ss in his range then it should be more weighted toward a call. The more non-paired hands in his range the more inclined you will be toward calling.
I would see a fold here because of a simple reason: We will have better spots later on.
You are putting 24bb on a coinflip because either the villain has two overs where you would be slight favourite, or you would be totally crushed (any other PP). So overall I simply fold and wait for a better spot to get the chips in when I think I am in better condition against his range.
I think if he would be BTN and raise, it looks totally different. Also it would be another topic if he would just raise a little bit or if he would be only 12-15bb deep (see Skates article - bet/call with all the hands you bet with).
