Another \"anyone capable of laying this down?\" hand
 

Party Poker $200 SNG. SB is a very solid player who've I've played a number of SNGs with without seeing her get out of line. She took about 1/2 second to act on this hand. MP is the semi-loose big stack, so the coldcall didn't seem to mean much from what he'd shown to this point.

Party Poker No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t50 (5 handed)

Button (t2295)
SB (t1245)
BB (t880)
Hero (t1195)
MP (t4385)

Preflop: Hero is UTG with J[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], J[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img].
<font color="CC3333">Hero raises to t150</font>, MP calls t150, Button folds, <font color="CC3333">SB raises to t1245 (All-In)</font>, BB folds, Hero...???

Easy fold.

One of those coinflip or worse situations, very little chance of anything else.

For confident, skilled players, JJ is a hand that should be folded to pushes often in SNG's.

The fact that you have the read on the player being solid makes it all that much easier. Only way I make the call here is if the read is over aggresive, or maniac etc...

With the MP coldcaller and the fact that SB pushed anyway, this is an easy fold. This is espcially true with your read that the SB is solid.

JJ is a coinflip against lots of drawing hands ... you have every reason to suspect someone's sitting on a premium hand -- how can you NOT fold this?

The only way, with what you've told us, that I can see playing this is if it was a multi-table, you're already in the money, and you have someone at the table with a huge stack advantage and i'm starting to get short stacked ... then maybe ...

...Hero folds, MP calls t1095.

Flop: (t2690) 9[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], 5[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], K[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] <font color="blue">(2 players, 1 all-in)</font>

Turn: (t2690) 8[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] <font color="blue">(2 players, 1 all-in)</font>

River: (t2690) 2[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] <font color="blue">(2 players, 1 all-in)</font>

Final Pot: t2690

SB has Th Tc (one pair, tens).
MP has 7h 7d (one pair, sevens).
Outcome: SB wins t2690. </font>

I figured I was up against QQ/KK/AK...maybe TT at best. Given the results, I just wanted to make sure my thinking wasn't off in laying down JJ here. I'm still thinking TT is probably the worst pair a solid non-aggro player would make this play with here.

The range of hands the SB has is AA-TT, AK. Maybe 99 but I doubt it. Good fold.
