What are the starting stacks at pokerstars? I probably push half the time and fold half the time. Did he have Kings?

Did you notice the 5 stacks that are exactly the same? That should be a hint. Starting stack on stars is 1500 chips.

There is a reason why JJ is called the death hand. I think I would consider smooth calling and seeing how CO reacts to whatever the turn card is.

I would fold PF to the RR, even at a 22. You just end up trapping yourself.
As played you have to lead the flop just to find out cheaply where you are. I think you can bet 250ish &amp; then fold to a push. If it wasn't a re-raised pot then obviously go broke but I'm sure it's -EV to just automatically c/r all in any undercard flop when you are re-raised PF, even at a $22.

i raise to 85 initially here, and would probably fold to a reraise preflop if it was 240-250ish (villain would likely make larger raise). as played, im check/folding this flop.

Lead flop for sure.

The general assessment of a $22-player's CO reraising range is tough. Honestly though, I think it's probably that you are only ahead of AK and TT here... Does AQ/99 reraise that much?

No &amp; that's exactly why it's a fold PF.
