JJ at FT of $5
 

I have been playing pretty tight at the final table cause i'm card dead. UTG has been playing pretty loose, and BTN has also been somewhat loose after he got the chiplead. What are your thoughts?

You have effective M=~4.5
Taking into consideration that both UTG and Button were pretty loose, i assume your hand as a monster against their range. I'm more suspicious about CO's call. Button in my eyes is trying to isolate blinds and should have midlle PP in this case (&gt; 4 times reraise). So, i would go AI here, because i think we still have FE from UTG and CO. If not, well even against 2 players our chances are not so bad.

nh, btw.

Seems like CO is the only hand to "worry" about, but its prob something like middle pair, or Ax (j or higher) if he has the same read on UTG as you do. The button re-raise means something, but is it possible he's running some sort of squeeze? This is a tough laydown, and I wouldn't criticize if that was the decision, considering AA-QQ should be in buttons range. I'd still prob shove here and cross my fingers hoping for something like AK.
