Default Re: Questionable All-In with QJ

Okay, two points now:
(1) You should definitely call the shove. You're investing 485 for a chance to win 1445 -- you only have to win 33% of the time. And QJs wins more than that even against 99+,AK, and his range is soo much wider.
(2) This is very similar to the ATo hand posted. You made a raise which pretty much commits all you're chips because (as point (1)) you should be calling shoves. And you should not be committing ~14BBs with QJs or ATo in EP. It's -EV. Number one choice is to fold QJs UTG. I don't mind playing it deep stacked & I dont mind shoving for 7BBs with it, but raise/call or shoving is just -EV with 14BBs. Second choice, if you are going to play a hand in this spot, you should probably be raising to ~130 so you have "flexibility" against a shove.
