Default Poll with JJ

In 5/10 6 max game the CO opens for $35, no reads. You have JJ in SB with $350 total. Which is your preference and why? If you are really adventurous, would you like to guess at the EV's of the three choices?

No stats on the CO?

And why am I sitting in a 5/10 game with 350 dollars?

why raise to 140? What if he just calls and we see a flop of AKx? What if he puts us all in with AK/AQ/TT? Do we fold here?

My advice: all in.

and RELOAD DAMNIT

You are raising to 140 and calling a push, and pushing a lot of flops if you have money left, possibly even many flops with overcards.

-OR-

you are calling, and pot pot potting any flop without overcards.

I prefer option 1, and you will have a hard time convincing me that the EV of option 2 is higher.

Definatly important info, unless you have signifigant history with villain. You most likely look like a donkey now, he will call with worse hands than AA-QQ, and more importantly, he will call with worse hands than JJ. Push. Reload.

Just realised OP didn't post that (doh). Just have more than 350 in front of you and play poker, or move down.

I estimated the EV of pushing $350 is about $21, assuming he calls with QQ+ and AK. I have no idea how to even begin estimating the EV of the other 2 choices. Does anybody have any idea?
