After posting BB I am shorty and even shorter when I post the SB next hand.

1) Should I get involved here?
2) Against one min-raiser, I am pushing this. Is that wrong?

Seat 1: TheJuizyOne (2360)
Seat 6: punisher01 (3380)
Seat 7: playtitleist (1190)
Seat 9: creativepuzz (1070)
punisher01 posts small blind (100)
playtitleist posts big blind (200)
** Dealing down cards **
Dealt to playtitleist [ Qh, Jh ]
creativepuzz folds.
TheJuizyOne raises (400) to 400
punisher01 calls (300)
playtitleist ???

Peace.

I don't like it. Your fold equity after a raise and a call is non-existent, and you almost have to be behind when called (which you will be). No fold equity+worst hand=not good.

I think you have to lay this down and look for a better spot to be first into the pot. I think pushing here is going to get most of the time and qj is going to be a coinflip at best. It also seems so we will be in pretty bad shape a lot with villian having aq aj kq or kj very often in this situation. fold here and look to push any 2 next time it folds to you.

not 3-way /images/graemlins/frown.gif

without the caller (i'm going to go out on a limb here - and, yes i still have to get back to that post), THIS would have been a decent SNG hand!

anyway...pretty looking hand. it'd be nice to see the flop for sure. but even with a hit, you're chance for reward has been reduced by the caller PF.

given the stacks in play, the difference between 890 and 690 might just be enough to pick up a set of blinds having cleared them (or next hand, where you WILL be pushing any two given the chance).

With the raise and the caller, I'd definantly fold. Without the caller though, I might think about pushing. Half of the time they fold or maybe a low pocket pair. And then there are those times when you run into aces or kings. Not for sure what the correct play would be without the caller, I guess it depends on reads.
