Default Re: WSOP $1500 NLHE Hand – ‘Experts’ Disagree, JJ with 21BBs

I like call the best, followed by raise to 1200/fold to push, followed by push.

1 is best because you have position and he cont. bets at all flops, great, he's not going to stop cont. betting just because you are OOP. If you CRAI, you are only being called by better hands and maybe AK; yes, there is 800 in the pot, but just based on his showdowns (AJ, 99, etc.), you get much more $$ in on the flop. With position, you can afford to call a cont. bet if a K/Q comes up. A is scarier, but it will likely scare him too. You have room to use JJ as a bluff against QQ as well and chips to make an evaluation from. If another player calls, well, you still have position and it may slow down PFR and allow you to take the pot unchallenged.

2 isn't terrible, the blinds just started at 100/200, right? You'll still have room to resteal, play poker, and you find out where you are. It's not a bad option if you feel you have great control over the blinds and another player at the table. You give off tremendous strength this way and you may find PFR making a goofy fold.
