Default Re: This is a call, yes? Reality check please.....

With the range you propose you are still 1.73:1 and it is still a fold.

The price of the hand for your JJ was simply too high. Break even point occurs at about 22+ with a lot of high paint card combination included.

Ummm. I think you might want to recheck your odds calculator. I don't have my trusty pokerstove here, but it's obvious that JJ cannot be a 1.73:1 dog vs. a range of AJ+ and 88+. JJ must be the favorite against this range, probably 6:5 or thereabouts. Your description of the break even point is also in error by a very wide margin.

(And this assumes OTB/villain pushes with AA every time, which I think is a questionable assumption)
