Was his JJ push stupid, or is it just me?

Did markevil overplay his Jacks?

I would have made the call.

[Felipe]

you'd call all-in with 33??

[ebaudry]

No, my 33 was a difficult fold, but after seing the action, i figured someone probably had me beat. [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

Actually I am interested only in the JJ action, my play is not pertinent to this hand.

[J-Lo]

Your 33 fold was dificult? You need to fold pocket pairs when you're calling pushes... his push was fine, as long as he knew that limpers doesn't mean AA/KK. If i was him, i'd be pushign that all day at the $55's.

[johnnybeef]

yes

There were no limpers, he raised to 100 UTG, then someone else pushed and he pushed over the top.

Overplayed by a mile, in my opinion.

I think this is closer than people are giving it credit for.

A lot of players won't push AA here becasue they want to get action and will instead make it like 300-400 to get some calls. Same thing with KK to a lessor extent.

If you discount the chances of AA/KK a little and still only have Tom push with AA-JJ/AK then the odds are pretty much there for a call. If there is any chance he would come over the top with TT or AQs then your odds are more than good enough. Since he will still have a playable stack of 520 if he loses its really a judgement call on what the all-in player will make this play with. Its certainly not an autofold.

There is nothing wrong with the initial raise.
