$5.50: JJ Bubble hand

Jan · #1 08-09-2007, 08:51 AM

SB listed as fish on sharkscope and was a habitual limper. He frequently called standard raises after limping, but often folded to all-in reraises. I would say he was limping w/at least 60% of his hands.

UTG was trying to fold his way ITM and played VERY few hands.

What would you do here?

What is the question ?

No really, SB is on 60%, you have JJ, and UTG is far from eliminated.

Just push.

That's what I thought, though SB woke up with a better hand than I expected: AQ. I did win that race though.

Question: What smaller % of hands would the SB have to be playing before pushing JJ would be a -$EV play, if at all. Also, I thought the short stack would make a difference here, but apparently not?

I just got SNGPT, but haven't yet figured out how to input this type of scenario, so advice on hand appreciated. Thanks

SGPT does not do limp. You need Sng Wizard for that.

The percentage when it's -EV depends on if he ever limp/folds - what do you think he'd call a shove with? I tried running SNGwiz assuming he doesn't fold ever after limping and SB opening anything below about 33% was -EV.
