okayplayer,

but how good is it when UTG or BB or both call with AK? well that's pretty great.

Well, you aren't that big of a favorite vs AK, and 6% PFR almost never re raise out of the blinds with AK.

i dont play this high, but i would also tend to think BB with a PFR of 6% would raise much more in this situation. I would think this raise has to be a big pocket pair

Grim this of it this way... JJ was not good enough to re-raise against UTG preflop with that dead money, and now an equally tight straightforward BB has re-raised the field. While there is more dead money in the pot, you have zero folding equity, and you are basically always a 4-1 dog.

guess what i did....

RESULTS!?

obv he had KK and I failed to spike a jack.

but im wondering if there really was any merit to pushing or if it was suicidal

[donkey]

ya dude dont listen to these nits. there was so much dead money in the pot you practically had the odds to race against KK. round up and gamble!

[billyjex]

you should just automatically fold jacks preflop, any positon, any scenario.

Suicidal. Doesn't even seem close.

Pushing is significantly -ev. Folding is 0ev. Calling is significantly +ev.

Yes, that's right. Folding is better than pushing.
