Re: The Lay-down that gets you to the WSOP

Well, with the shorty expressing interest in the hand, and you holding JJ, I suspect it's probably appropriate for you to be involved in the hand. Largely because unless someone has an absolute monster preflop, you almost certainly won't have to play for more than 12753 chips, which you can afford to lose and still be in comfortable shape to get a seat. The reward for calling and getting involved for the minimum number of chips is to make sure shorty doesn't win the hand is a WSOP seat for you.
I'd have called or even minraised here. Basically, I don't want to risk more than 12753 chips, and expect that I would check it down with any other player without the nuts if we get all in preflop.
Basically, I think the risk of losing 1/4 of your stack in this spot and still having 10xBB left is worth it, since you may very well help seal your own WSOP seat with a hand as strong as JJ.

Terrible advice. No reason at all to get involved. The only way I play sheriff is if i am one of the big big stacks and I'm against a shorty. Then you're obligated to take him out to end the thing.
