Default JJ 2nd hand BB

Villain made a big raise on the last hand and took it down without a showdown. It's a $1.20 on Stars (45 man) b/c I have no $ in my Stars account. [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]

Pushes.

You'll probably get called by a worse hand most of the time b/c its a 1.20. Calling is 20% of your stack which is pretty gross, especially being BB, and especially with JJ and probably 3 way.

Any raise doesn't make sense b/c it's going to be at least half your stack.

Just push and don't think about it.

I'd call with AA/KK, and maybe QQ if I was feeling frisky.

Isn't this also a good spot for a stop-and-go?

i think its a horrible spot for a stop n go as you will be pushing 1200 into 600 with tiny ass blinds.

I like a push here especially if this is his second time making this weird raise. He will probably call with any AJ+ and pp 77+, maybe even KQ.

Sweet. Just checking my thought process...4th best hand, donkeys all over, and it's $1.20.

FYI: BB goes A/I and shows A6o, SB calls and shows A8s. Jacks hold up. Yahoo! [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]
