$10 Deep Stack JJ with a small stack comparative to the field

[frankx99x]

It is a double stack. We've been playing for over 7 hours. (remind me to avoid these tourneys in the future) I am short in relation to the field. Villain has been playing solid. Do I call with one more to act, raise, or shove it?

u cant call. if u do so, utg can call also, and then flop could be hard for u, with 2 player OOP.
raise: what amount could u make here? half of your stack? 30K? and lay down if he fires back?
what is his range? if the top 5% (88+, AJs-QKs-AKo) u are in coinflip situation.
if his range is wider,(because of his big stack it could be)
say top 10%, u are ahead. imo push is ok, if the utg will fold. if utg slowplayed QQ-AA, u can go sleep. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

I agree with the push. I need to accumulate some chips because the big stacks are getting agressive at this point in the tourney. I can't lay it down, calling is not an option so my only choice is to re-raise. EP had AQ and hit. I was out

[chaosprofessor]

at this level UTG limp from solid playa often could be a monster. it wasnt and your push was OK, imho.
against two top 5% card u have 33%. against AQ 56%.

i push this one too

you are quite short M=10 (with antes?) and have a good edge here.

It doesn't matter what your stack is in relation to the field.

Push this and don't think about it. As someone else said, calling leaves you really exposed. Don't ever think about raising half your stack, and never fold here.

Thank you Dave. I knew shoving was right, but sometimes I like a little reassurance from you guys.

Are you from Brooklyn? Brooklyn original here.

No Brookline, it's a semi suburb kinda of Boston. Fenway is on the Boston/Brookline border.
