$60 - JJ Facing Push on Bubble with Shorty
PokerStars Tournament, Big Blind is t400 with t25 antes (4 handed) Converter on pregopoker.com
CO (t5590) Button (t1820) Hero (t4795) BB (t1295) Preflop: Hero is in SB with J[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] J[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] <font color="red">CO raises to t5565 (All-in)</font>, <font color="gray">Button folds</font>, Hero ??? I'm thinking this should probably be a fold, but JJ seems so huge on the bubble... Is his range big enough to justify calling with the shorty there? |

What's the read on the big stack? Generally when I am in the second place, I do not get tangled up with the big stack when 2 remaining stacks are tiny.

Re: $60 - JJ Facing Push on Bubble with Shorty
Damn, this one is tough.
I would call and play for the win here because JJ is just too big of a hand for me to not play 4 handed even with the BB and Button being on dripbags. Most of the time you're either racing here or are way ahead to an underpair. I just don't see him open pushing QQ+ here but it is possible. A fold here isn't all that bad either because of your stack in relation to the blinds at this point. Still a lot of time to play and maybe pick a more comfortable spot especially with the 2 shorties. Winning this pot does make it a lot easier to pwn the table the rest of the way. So with my "go for 1st" mentality, I'm making this call and praying for an underpair. |

Seems like a relatively easy fold.

[/ QUOTE ] If his range is literally *any two* its a pretty big edge to call this. For that matter, its +1% $EV all the way down to setting his range to 82%. If it were a known 2+2er there (or myself) I might call with JJ but I think far fewer people here push any two in villain's spot than they let on. I fold this at the table all the time. |
