3r, JTs, relatively SS in hijack
 

Several of the books I've read say I should do this because I am short-stacked relative to the blinds and antes. I was just moved to this table, so no reads. What do you guys think?

ante is 600, so pot is 13,800

You aren't quite desparate yet. I understand the push but I probably wait for a better spot.

Hard to let this go. Factor in your image and table considerations may sway to a fold; in a vacuum, push is OK. I've grown accostomed to letting go of 109, J10, QJ with 5 people to act and an M of about 6. With 4 people, it's closer.

Are we pushing JJ+ here also, or making a standard raise?

Re: 3r, JTs, relatively SS in hijack
 

shove is fine.
