Re: JJ pre flop situation in 100r vs raise/reraise in EP
I had this exact hand in a live $1K tourney Sunday, except I was on the button with JJ. Both guys in front of me seemed a little tight, so it was an easy fold. They turned over QQ and KK. Without any reads, I think it's a fold, but it's close. If reraiser's lowest pair is QQ, it's -cEV, if it's TT, it's barely +cEV. If UTG raiser calls with {QQ+,AK+} it's actually better for you in terms of cEV(probably because the two sometimes take away outs from each other), but obviously worse in terms of your chances of winning. You're getting in behind against any reasonable range regardless, so you have the classic tournament life considerations as well.
