BB is short. So raise enough to put BB all in, but not so much that you can't fold if MP2 pushes. Raise to $7, I think.

I make it $6 to go.

Just call here is Unthinkable?

Re: NL25 : JJ in a multiway
 

I wouldn't call here either. You accomplish nothing with a call. You get no information whatsoever, and will often times have a difficult decision on the Turn.

By raising you get the chance...

...to take it down right here.
...to isolate the shortstack and go without further decisionmaking to the showdown
...or to get enough Info about the bigger stacks hand that you can safely fold.

By raising you enable yourself to have easier decisions later in the hand.

Thanks.
You're right, i am wrong [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img] Raise 5-6$ is the better play here, i will remember.
Too much turn gives me very difficult decision with a call flop.

Call is the worst option you have. This looks like a simple raise and probably a fold if the other guy shoves when it gets back to him.
