vs an unknown I think we can shove pf, as played I don't think I can get away here, even though we're not ahead of much.

Re: $27s tough spot with JJ
 

I dont think you can put 350 of your stack in (or call 200 pf) with the intention of folding on an undercard rainbow relatively unconnected flop vs the PFR. As played I would suggest bet/3bet all in, but CRAI is fine on the flop too because your CRAI would be around potsize.

About folding the flop: Maybe if the action went bet, raise, flat or something, even still i probably get it in while febreezing the barf on my carpet.

yeah had he just shoved the flop i probably call. the stupid raise after the flop was yelling kk or aa. i should have just gone all-in.

Re: $27s tough spot with JJ
 

If you read him to have you beat post flop, wouldn't the same be the case preflop? Because calling with jacks to hit a set cant be +EV? So I guess you either have to fold preflop or call his push now.

Re: $27s tough spot with JJ
 

Versus unknown I'm raising this pre-flop and looking to get it all-in. On the flop, I'm almost never folding. Lead out isn't a bad play, but I prefer a CRAI. AK+AQ will almost always fold to a CRAI on this flop, but as played they have to call your shove.

Re: $27s tough spot with JJ
 

If you guys are both deep thancalling with JJ to hit a set is ok, as played calling 200 out of 1300 isnt something I would advocate when we are playing it postflop like this.

might just be me who is a big nit, but shoving I would rather fold than shove the hands against an unknown, might be a leak of mine. What range do you put him on to justify a shove here?

Re: $27s tough spot with JJ
 

It's hard to say what range an unknown opens, that's why stats are so important. I think most unknowns are opening like 88+, high aces, broadway cards at this level. I could be off a bit and obviously it's hard to tell, but at a $27 I wouldn't give an unknown credit for opening a range that makes JJ a bad shove.
