Default ($6.5) Is this soft-play?

SB is a random_LAG_01 guy.

PokerStars Tournament, Big Blind is t600 with t50 antes (4 handed) Converter on pregopoker.com

Hero (t570)
Button (t1730)
SB (t10470)
BB (t730)

Preflop: Hero is in CO with T[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] J[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]
<font color="gray">Hero folds</font>, <font color="gray">Button folds</font>, <font color="gray">SB folds</font>

You would expect the SB to push wouldn't you? I assume that's why you laid this down, hoping for a free ride into the money? However at this level never assume intelligence

You're the big blind next hand and you're AI without a choice, I would have taken the chance with JTo.

I am pushing this. The way the stack sizes are the button and the BB will get out of the way with anything but a monster pair. So it's likely to be JT vs 1 random hand. Looks good to me.

BB is calling 90% of the time. look at stacks more closely. JTo vs two slightly better than randoms is very likely - and very bad
