Standard or a bit crazy? JJ in 4/180

[SuperUberBob]

Villain has been typical. Somewhat donkish postflop. Can't get away from a lot of hands. Caught a huge rush of hands earlier.

I hate calling off 1/6 of my stack with JJ and fold when overs hit. I also hate folding. But I hate shoving at the same time because I feel that I'm only called with hands that beat me.

I think this is fine. If you were a little closer to button I think you would call with position but pushing isn't a bad choice here with antes in play.

I like it.

He doesn't seem like the type to fold 55-TT/AJ. But I understand having a stack to play with and not wanting to confront a stack like this, but this is a great opportunity with your hand.

Seems fine to me against a random $4 donkey.

For at least 1 blind level, I was berated incessantly for my decision. Many claimed that I would not cash let alone make the final table. Everybody who said that busted before me and I finished in 4th.
