Default Re: Sunday Million - Muck Jacks preflop?

normally i fold JJ with 2 AI's before me, but in this situation I would call, due to shorty's wide range+MP knowledge of that wide range.

I expect them both to turn over big aces and my jacks to hold up

What would you have done if MP1 had cold called the all-in?

Even with zero FE, maybe 1%, I still stick it in with 14bb stack and holding the 4th best hand in holdem. Calling with any intention except a stop n go would be bad.

i thought you could only stop and go out of position?

regardless, i don't muck this. i don't dispute his hand range; that's OP's read. the deep prize structure makes it worth the extra risk. i don't berate OP.

With 10-15 BB and Jacks You have to push. Or soon you will have to take a worst risk and it will likely have less of a potential reward.

Two big stacks or one/two of the AIs a tighty?? Then fold and hate it. Same situation as above and 20BB .... I likely push, but prob shouldn't....... [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

I would expect the first guy to have any pair, and am willing to play against him. But with the second guy in, your pot equity goes way down, even with JJ. I hate calling off my whole stack, since you have zero FE. You're short, yes, but find a spot that you can try to chip up without racing (open push to get some blinds/antes and even maybe a resteal)
