JJ in sb facing an all in..
Live tourney $250 buy in.. winner take all.. 23 players..4k+ for the winner
172,500 chips in play 7 handed.. Im in the SB ~ 32,000 chips BB ~ 15,000 UTG ~ 12,000 ( I consider him equally as good as me ) MP ~ 35,000 ( Donk ) MP ~ 20,000 Average kinda tight Cutoff ~ 15,000 ( Good but I think Im better ) Button ~ 50,000 ( I consider him a better player than me ) Reason I mentioned everybody is I think it plays a factor whether I fold this hand or call.. Blinds 1000 / 2000 100 Ante Cutoff limps.. Button goes all in I have JJ in the SB What should I be doing here.. From playing with button a lot.. Im pretty confident he's got AK.. Is this a Call? Fold? 10 mins left in this level.. 20 min blind levels next level is 1500/3000 200 Ante |

Re: JJ in sb facing an all in..
you have to win the tournament to get anything
you have a chance to cripple and double through the only player better than you you are a favorite against what you are pretty confident he has. there is no reason not to call |

He showed AKclubs.. I think im being too results oriented as i've bubbled quite a few tourneys lately in a similar situation.. In retrospect I think you're right I guess I should've called.. But at the time I was thinking I know I can find a better spot than this 51/49.. |

Re: JJ in sb facing an all in..
well, i guess you may find another spot but its unlikely. Despite your decent stack size your M is still only about 5 which is time to do something. To me, buttons push looks like a steal...but you know how he plays so, it very well may be AK....thats the most reasonable assumption. IMO I could see him doing this with a decent range of hands though. The thing is ....this is a winner take all tourny...correct? So you HAVE to be playing to win. And to do that you need a big stack. So I would take my small edge here and gamble. If you win this pot you have the table crushed...if not, well you live to fight another day. Either way this is a tough spot to be in and Im sure others will disagree, so you'll have to wait and get some more responses.

Re: JJ in sb facing an all in..
^^ Funny thing is.. two hands later in the cutoff I raised 3X BB with K9 of diamonds (30,000 chips).. BB called (had approx 35,000 chips ).. flop came K 8 9 rainbow.. He went all IN.. barely had me covered I called.. showed KJ my hand held up.. became chip leader.. went card dead..and 30 mins later lost AQ to AA and walked away in 4th place.. Live poker is soo rigged.. [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]

Re: JJ in sb facing an all in..
Knowing nothing about the button, I call in a heartbeat. If you have some high probability of him having AK, well... that's a race with a non-trivial overlay against the other big stack (a very good player) in a winner-take-all tourney. Seems like a definite call.
CO's open-limp seems awful to me, btw. |

Re: JJ in sb facing an all in..
Dude, you gave button a ridiculously narrow range. Did you forget about AQ/AJ? 77? 22? It's possible that after a couple hours you could say his range is weighted towards AK, but simply saying that he has exactly AK and never has anything else is really bad poker thinking. I doubt you had such a stellar read that you can say that he has a 0% chance of having 77. This is a very easy call. And if he physically turned up his cards and showed you that he had AKs, you should instacall.
