I'm pushing to take Button for a ride and win the side pot

Throw it away. First of all, you have 13.5 BBs and are nowhere near desperate. You have 2 villains showing interest in probably going all the way with this hand, and notice that a 1425-chip stack only CALLED a 1000-chip raise, leaving only 525 behind. I have found at the $3.40 and $6.50 level that this is a very reliable tell that the caller is sitting on a monster...it's much more often that than a donk call. Basically, it's a donk-trying-to-get-cute-with-a-big-hand call, and if that's the case here my calling range is AA-KK and that's it.

With 5 or so BB you're kind of forced to take a stand here with JJ, unpromising as it might seem, because of your dwindling stack, but with the stack you actually have and this situation send it to the muck quickly, and watch as 80-85% of the time SB shows down AA or KK.

scott, my thoughts were similar. I was going to push against the button, but was confused when the SB cold called. I put him on a big hand too, and chucked my jacks away. He showed AKs v button's 33 which held up. Precisely the way NOT to play big slick, but hey.....

the buttons big raise (5xbb at 100/200) is most likely low PP or AJ or lower, the cold call has to frighten you especially since you are covered, i throw this away

SB has 1415....geez...
Button has small pair and wants to end it there...just push and bring BB along.. it's a 3.4

oh btw, you should have reads about both player so far...

[J-P]

omfg its a 3.4 ffs push this

[ger664]

OP you should really have a read on SB here at this point.

Buttons raise smells like a hand that he wants no action with.

SB call could be a monster or that of a complete donk calling station.

Even if it is a monster you are miles ahead of and probably dominating Buttons range. Wining the side pot against button and losing the main pot to the SB will leave you with the same +$EV as when you fold.

SB calling range of AA/KK is just way too tight here unless you have a very specfic read and you have seen him do this before.

get it in, take their chips, win.

Shove very quickly, the size of button's raise is a bit of a concern as that, coupled with SB's call, gives us little FE, but we're ahead so often here it doesn't matter.
