Default pocket Js from button

I had no reads on the BB.

A couple of hands earlier I had limp-reraised all-in with pocket 8s with only 1000 or so chips left.



Poker Stars, $4 + $0.40 NL Hold'em Tournament, 25/50 Blinds, 8 Players

UTG+1: 1,350

MP2: 2,925
CO: 535
Hero (BTN): 2,440
SB: 1,735
BB: 2,100
UTG: 1,580

Pre-Flop: (75) J[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] J[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] dealt to Hero (BTN)

No - I actually insta-shoved but I wasn't sure if that was the right move or not given that since I had recently pushed with pocket 8s - he must have considered that - but you never know at this level!

The 8's hand makes this an even easier shove IMO.

I see a coin flip at best coming from this, he did just put 25% of his stack in preflop and the pot isnt going to help him that much if he takes it down right there, i'd think he owuld have TT+ or AQ+. You dont have to put it in if you think he has this range too esxpecically since you have a ton of chips compared to blinds.

Easy shove, villain could be clueless reraising with a worse hand or villain could be good thinking you're stealing from lp.
