Early FT $50k Guaranteed Preflop Decision

[AcesUp2121]

15/30 level. Nothing memorable has happened thus far.

Folds to CO who raises to 105. SB makes it 345. Hero is in the Big blind with 1850 and J [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] J [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]. Flat call, fold, reraise, shove?

[JammyDodga]

shove, get called by the SB 77, bust out when he hits a set on the flop?

[NU Star]

Yeah, I think a shove is appropriate here.

[popejpjr]

its either a fold or a shove. I probably push in your position.

Id call and reevaluate on flop for several reasons. So reckless to shove this early vs 2 unknowns.

So you call 1/6 of your chips hoping for what flop to get the rest of them in on?

This is push/fold, leaning towards push readless since his range likely includes some smaller pp's as well as AK and AQ.

push or fold. Probably push. Beside a Jack on board, any flop can be a problem as an all small board still results in you likely stacking off to a higher pocket pair and gives the CO a chance to hit a set with his small pocket pair and good odds.

[GreatKerblini]

I hardly ever see smaller pp raising here from the SB. You are never folding out better hands in this position. Im shoving over a SB's C-bet with a 3-under flop, and probably getting away from any A or K on the flop. If the flop comes 247, I can see us stacking any 99, 1010ish hand. If they had a bigger PP pf, we were going broke anyhow. However, shoving PF may fold out these smaller PP.

This is the way I like to control potsize/not going broke so early in a tournament in a very marginal situation.
