Party $22 - JJ on Bubble

[niquewon]

Is there any way I can get away from this hand? Up to this point BB has been solid and straight forward so I doubt he's making a move here but I believe I'm probably in a coin flip situation. Am I better off calling here and trying to put myself in position for the win or folding and waiting for the short stack to bust?

Wow I think this really sucks...

I probably would have just open pushed. You've got more than 10 BB, yeah, but not much, and you only have to worry about that one guy having you covered.

He could be coming over the top with a lot of hands here. If I'm him, I probably come over with any two, knowing you need a monster to call, cause of that really small stack.

I think you're probably way ahead here, I doubt it's a coinflip...but I begrudgingly dump this.

Man, this seems pretty tough to me. This oughta be a fun one.

I agree that if it was me I would have pushed originally to avoid this situation. I would most likely fold though if I did make the raise.

See, the problem with the first five posts is, these are 2+2'ers talking and against them I would almost want to make this raise to trap a 64o into pushing.

Against a typical $22 lineup, not so much, and you can strongly think about folding - although I'd have pushed to start with.

Just wondering but if it was a smart player wouldnt this be a play to also keep the bubble alive? But i would open push i would hate to have a fold to this, but why raise this hand in the first place if you thought had the best hand and the only intetnion were to get the blinds folded. Pushing would put more pressure on him. I hope thats right....

You must call here, but just push preflop (10-13xBB is pushable IMO in situations like this to prevent people from making this raise with a weak holding).

i push here, but i am laying down to a re-raise if i made the initial $700 raise. are the players at the $22s really re-raisin all-in with any 2? i think not, more likely he turns over AA,KK
