JJ facing a push and isolation- $50

JesseB_11 · #1 10-21-2007, 09:37 PM

The pusher hasn't played a hand in the 4 orbits or so I have played at the table. The re-raiser is a 2+2er, he has been playing pretty solid from what I've seen.

If MP1's range is 66+ A10o+ and MP3's is 99+ AQo+ you have 40 percent equity, which would make this an easy call. I've never played that high, though, so I don't know if those ranges are reasonable.

I'd fold the JJ... If 2 players went AI before you, your likely up against AQs+, QQ+. One of them probably has the two high cards, Ax and the other has a high pocket pair QQ, KK, AA... Your behind from the beginning...

Instamuck baby.
Up against at least one overpair, gotta be.
Prolly JJ, KK and AK with a bullet on the river. Mmmm makes me feel all warm inside.

to shallow to fold JJ here..stick it in

Folding JJ with this stack is horrible.

Villian could have TT or AK, or maybe even a lower pair, or AQ. Stick it in and hope for the best.

This might be a closer decision if you had 20 bbs, but I doubt it.

I suck at reading HH´s, didn´t even notice how shallow you were. Yah then I stick it in, but I´m hating it. Don´t really agree on 20 bbs though, then I would lean towards fold. 30 bbs and up I do instamuck.

LOL at those saying you should fold! Your M is what? Like 5.5 or something? You have a decent chance to tripple your stack, folding is ridiculous.

Totally agree, I mean I know it's semi-standard to fold JJ when faced with a raise and a 3bet, but stack sizes are everything here. I actually think the ranges quoted earlier are a little tight and we still have 40% equity. Stick it in and fist pump when it's double AK.

They both have AK and you have >70% equity, CALL! [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]
Seriously, lots of times you'll see Ax vs AQ in this spot.
I'll go on record as saying that I folded JJ with 5 bbs once and was right to do so, but this looks like a call to me.
