JJ hand HU already in the money

[makazeUK]

Hi. I was already in ther money in MTT, both myself and my oppent had 25k and we were 16th 15th out of 20 players.

Blind 500 / 1000

UTG riases 3k, all fold to me on button holding JJ.

Is this an instant all in? The guy who raised was just a typical taggy player on Prima.

Don't post the results. Call in position this deep and go bust on that flop. Pushing sucks because, on the whole, only better hands call.

Sounds like a push to me. There may be som merit to calling and pushing if no overcards come but I think that you are too short to wait or try to make a tricky play. Just push and be happy if he folds.

He's not short at all. There are no antes on Prima. Also, be unhappy if villain folds because he's folding a hand that you beat.

calling is my standard play here against an unknown utg raise, you hae position so use it.
