Dude, without a very strong/specific read.....push.

Remember some players will overvalue overpairs, TPTK, as well as playing soemthing like AKs fast.

WTF Push.

Yeah, sometimes this is JJ. It's also often AA, KK, two big diamonds, etc.

Edit: Ok, I misread the action. Didn't realise this was an uber-checkraise from UTG. Still an easy shove. Could be a big pair from an idiot, AJdd, etc. Most of what I said earlier still applies. If I had a read that someone was an absolute nit, I guess I could fold. In my homegame, I'd fold against myself. But this is an unknown! Get your money into the goddamn pot!

ok, thanks. Against what kind of player, if there is one, are you folding this? What about my flop raise?

Maybe you are single-handedly the reason stars games are soooo weaktight.
