No?

Seriously, I'd just call against an unknown. I'd feel better about getting it in here if he raised to like 10k, but his minraise has me confused enough to see a flop.

odd hand...don't mind the heros play...he raised 3X from LMP and SB could be defending light...I think the minraise is odd but we should have some FE and have a hand that plays well if called...

Re: 3R: JJ late position preflop play
 

We are getting good odds to call and we have position. We are fairly deep so IMO calling is better than shoving.

As a side question, how often do you see villian's min reraise with 20-25bbs and fold to a reshove? I just don't feel like we have a whole lot of FE here.

Re: 3R: JJ late position preflop play
 

Given that villain is OOP making this play, stacks are relatively deep, we are getting good odds to call, and shoving allows villain to avoid making a mistake, i like calling IP and seeing a flop. with the K high flop i probably call a half pot bet or below, fold to more and see what develops.
