View Full Version : JTs: Stars 180 SNG


12-12-2005, 11:53 AM
About 50 people left at Stars 180 SNG. I'm on the button with JTs (I rarely play this hand against a raise but my M is getting low and have been ubertight this tourney for some reason).

Midstack raises from MP and some donk calls. I call. I think BB calls.

Flop AJT rainbow. PF raiser pushes.

I should fold, right? I'm beaten by AJ, AT, KQ, AA, JJ, TT.

i should say that there's no way to answer without knowing bet sizes, stack sizes, etc, but i'll cut to the chase: you have to call.

Hard to say w/o stack sizes but ... assuming donk folded I think you call here. Unlikely he pushes w/ the flopped straight, likely pushes w/ all the hands you cite plus Ak and Aq (and some whiffs). Lots more Ak and Aq than the others. You got into this because your M was low - you hit your hand, he may have it it harder, he may not have - you're no doubt getting the right odds to call.

Sorry I'm at work and don't have the HH here. Everyone in the hand has roughly twice my stack (I have 2000 chips and they have 5000+).

I also think as long as donk folds this is a call. Being short stacked, this might be your best chance to make it back into the running.

Call and hope for AK or AQ.

I think AK or AQ also does this, possible KK or QQ too. tough to lay this one down, maybe laying it down is the right decision, but I would call.

huh? I can't believe you're considering a fold to a push here. I instacall.

Btw, you said your M was getting low, so I would fold JTs preflop unless I had a read on villain that he was straightforward and would give up the pot if he missed.

With a low M, call. Without a low M, I call 95% of the time.

I don't understand- you have a low M and decide to call a raise with a suited connector? Either push because you have a read or wait to push this hand with first in vig.

As per your flop decision- you have to call. Though it would be nice to have some stack sizes and know the blind level.
