I don't like it, bb is very short and my be making some unexpected calls.

A raise to 5k does the same thing, w/out risking your whole stack. With that sized raise the other two will essentially be risking their entire stack to play. IMO this was move wasn't thought out, you will get called by the other two if they run into a monster (JJ+, AK) and you're crippled.

You really want to play J6 against a random hand?

Fold preflop.

[/ QUOTE ]Ok, that makes more sense eyeballing the math you are getting about 1.35:1 when he calls. Add in the itme he folds and j6 should only have to hold up 30% of the time for this to be +cEV, but button/sb can wake up with hands also. And your image is going to be shot after you are called which is another reason i don't like it.

J6 against a random hand is about 48%. Since the blinds are so high, the all-in isn't a bad move. If the BB folds, then that's even better.

Who's worried about the BB? Surely you shouldn't. I'm worried about the two that can CRIPPLE my stack. Std betting works better here, what raises have stolen in the past?

I usually put a lot of weight on the BB's pokerdb stats in this situation. If he hasn't cashed a lot, or usually just limps into the money but gets no further, I am much more likely to push. I haven't noticed this type of analysis mentioned, and I've been meaning to ask if anyone else does this. Maybe I'm wrong.

Just want to ask - when people in this forum say "push any two" isn't this the kind of hand you do it with in this situation? If not I don't know where else you'd do it. I mean, tables pretty tight, folds to you in Cutoff, stand to earn t4000 (almost 1/4 of your stack) and have everyone covered including BB. I guess showing J6o could be problematic since BB is say 50% likely to call with any 2 given his stack, but a) is anyone paying attention anyway and b) you can tighten up a lot more if you win now that you're a little more chip heavy + since everyone thinks you're a maniac you can get some loose calls with real hands and double up
