regardless of how sure you are about it, QQ is a shove. as morello said, you need 40.35% equity to breakeven(temporarily ignoring the small % the other dude has QQ+,AK). QQ has ~47.4% equity vs JJ+,AK, and tsop is shoving JJ here every time.

JJ is definitely not an easy fold like some others have alluded to in this thread. We have 36% equity against a squeeky tight range of AK/QQ+. He will on occasion show up with a smaller pair or AQ type hand. Not a ton of the time or anything, but enough to swing our equity to about where it needs to be for a shove to be correct.

It's definitely not insane at all for villain to 3bet 99/TT here. Lots of dead money, decent equity against our opening range, etc.

So yeah, JJ is a very close decision and that's not really debatable.

thats the "temporarily" part that makes QQ very close.

the slight chance that he has QQ+ does not turn this into a close decision. it's unwise to assume that an unknown's range is super narrow.

sinse his stack is somewhat big the risk he has a huge hand is smaller, but he called an UTG raise UTG+1 so it cannot be ignored. I never said I assumed he had QQ+..

well to think QQ is close you'd have to think his flatting range is pretty narrow
