Looks perfect to me. I can't think of a better way of playing this.

Did I donk this one up good? I dont understand why he would just push here. I am guessing a pocket pair maybe? I really dont know. Do you guys like this call or no?

Eagles · #5 03-09-2006, 06:12 PM

Looks good I don't like reraising oop so this is fine.

madbeetz · #6 03-09-2006, 06:18 PM

An explanation for the JJ hand. Not really sure why anyone would shove here, but thats beside the point. This guy certainly isnt doing this with QQ, KK or AA. I would say he has any pocket pair here, or an ace of some form. I am a pretty big favorite vs that field. I think I like this call. What do you guys think?

pooh74 · #7 03-09-2006, 06:19 PM

IS the first time he's done this?

I hate these spots...I probably call, I see 44 and the like too often here.

El_Oso · #8 03-09-2006, 06:26 PM

I call with JJ in that spot every time. It could be a steal, but as the smallest stack I gladly call with JJ. If you had a bigger stack like his I would consider folding. But being the smallest stack you are going to have to go for it sometime and I don't think you should wait for a better hand than JJ.

yeah, and El Oso's point about your stack (even though relative to blinds healthy) is valid that this could be a huge opportunity.

I have no comment on this hand, but please stop berating players at the table.
