Default $11 - JJ in the bubble with a micro stack

Converter not working [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]

I folded, but it sucked. What if the BB was the other middle stack instead of the big stack? Still a fold?

Seat 2: Hero ( 2190 )
Seat 6: CO ( 2983 )
Seat 7: Dealer ( 60 )
Seat 3: BB ( 14767 )

Blinds(300/600)

Dealt to Hero [ Jh Jc ]
CO folds.
Dealer folds.
Hero folds.

If the BB was the other stack, I would honestly push (because how can he call here withouth AA or KK since on person is almost gone).

As you played it, it's a tough play. Not sure what I would do, as I don't like playing for 3rd place just to get ITM. I like to play for 1st and pocket JJ is a might fine hand to push with, even if you push into the big stack.

shortie is the dealer, will be all in in 2 hands. Its middle stack, micro, me (sb), big stack (bb). He is folding everything trying to get ITM and the big stack is pushing like 99% of the time.

This seems horrible to me; you're just throwing away 15% of your stack, playing for set value at best. I'd rather push than complete. I'd definitely fold any non-paired cards, and looking from a distance I guess I fold here, but I'd sure have a tough time doing so at the time. BB would be getting about 3:2, so he might call with a wider range than you'd like. Fold I suppose. [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]

relooking at our stack sizes, and the blinds (for some reason I thought we'd still have 2100 after completing) I retract my advice. Completing gives us 1500, and any bet after flop will pretty much have to be all in. I'm changing my vote to fold.

Seat 2: Hero ( 2190 ) .2614
Seat 6: CO ( 2983 )
Seat 7: Dealer ( 60 )
Seat 3: BB ( 14767 )



fold: ~.2537

push and call

4380 ~.305
2983
60
12577

83% equity.

which makes JJ a fold, however, we don't know how often BB is calling here.

JJ is probably a borderline push/fold.

If i completed BB would push 100% of the time, so its really pushing or folding.

Btw, if JJ is borderline, would you push with QQ?
