Default Re: JJ - Final Table

This is a pretty gross spot, especially given your read. I think your range is a little tight, he could easily be isolating with TT/AK, or maybe AQ/99. I think AA/KK smooth calls the raise.

I don't think UTG is coming along with anything below 99 if you get it in, he's not changing his decision because you called. I mean maybe he decides with so much in there he'd get it in with AQ, but I doubt it. He either has TT+/AK, or doesn't. I tend to think with that raise he might have AK b/c he's trying to protect it, as opposed to most players do 2.5x at this stage with other premium holdings. He is UTG too, so you have to give him more credit for having a legit hand, as opposed to being BTN.

In the heat of battle I push here. I guess folding is ok if you really really trust your read because you still have 24BBs at the end of the hand. It's just so hard to pass up JJ, and the fact that if you win here you're locking up top 3, probably first.
