Raise pre-flop. You can represent any Broadway card that flops. You are getting short stack all in on any non-ace flop right?

Standard line. No problem as i see it. Coulda, shoulda, woulda reraised pre-flop but makes no difference in the end (I think).

Nicely done postflop

I agree with everyone about the reraise.

Any reason why we wouldn't put UTG all-in preflop since he's pretty short stacked and we're likely ahead?

If we put him all-in preflop, he's paying to hit something should he have AK, AQ, AJ, AT.

On the other hand, if we take a flop and he has something like TT, QQ, KK we could represent AK if an A flops.

Most of the replies to this post advocate re-raising preflop with JJ.

What is the range of hands that hero should reraise here in the cutoff given an open raise from UTG to 4xbb in 6 Max NL $50, as shown in this hand? And why?

Given that range of hands, what do you fold to a 3-bet given no real reads on villain yet, as shown in this hand?

I would have reraised: AA, KK, QQ.

Obviously most of you guys reraise JJ. What about AK, TT, AQ(s), 99, 88, 77, lower pairs, AJ(s), AT(s), KQ/KJ, etc?

I mostly play full ring, and a big re-raise preflop full ring is almost always AA or KK. Occasionally, I'll see a guy with AK do it, but if he gets a 3-bet from the original raiser, he is almost always up against AA or KK.

But 6-max is obviously different, so how different?

I don't view the minraise as a real raise, unless villain indicates to me that he will minraise with a good hand.

Given that, I'm likely to reraise with 88-AA and AK...or somewhere along that.

And what is the minimum hand that you will call a 3-bet from the original raiser preflop given your range of re-raising hands? For example, UTG raises to $2, you reraise JJ to $8, and UTG makes it $25 to go? What do you do with the reads in the hand posted here (i.e. not a lot of good reads) in the situation given in the OP?

Vs a 3-bet to $25 from villain and you have-
AA?
KK?
AK?
QQ?
JJ?
TT?
99?
88?

Vs a 3-bet push from villain, and you have-
AA?
KK?
AK?
QQ?
JJ?
TT?
99?
88?

I probably won't call an over-the-top raise with anything other than KK or AA

minraise and then coming over-the-top is a huge sign of strength to me

Opponent didn't min raise/

OH OOPS

I read this wrong lol, I thought it said $1 BB at the top at first glance

myyyy bad, disregard all of my posts in this thread lol.

Villian had QQ I did not suck out. Given his stack size I do not mind getting busted here.

I like the way you played.

Unfortunately this is a situation where you are just going to go broke. I don't re-raise pre-flop here because JJ is probably a small favorite or big dog to most of the hands your opponent is raising with. You want to give yourself a chance to get away from the hand if an A, K, or Q hits and your opponent comes out firing.

With that flop I'm going to get my money in the pot. If my opponent has hearts he is going to pay to draw out. The only plausible hands that really scare you here are AA, KK, QQ, and 99. Your opponent is likely to bet hands that are currently behind you though.
