Default Another boring BrassMonkey Hand? Maybe... $109

Alright guys, hopefully this one is more interesting... I'm trying, dammit!

Here's the line on G. G is the lone blind, the hand after a hand in which he lost a bunch of chips on an AK (what G had), AQ, J 10 (!) all-in. Yup, you guessed it - the J 10 won, and G wasn't happy about it. Knowing that, what do you do with this JJ after an initial bet of 150 is met by an all-in by G?

Super interesting, right? Heh.

NL Texas Hold'em $100 Buy-in + $9 Entry Fee Level:3 Blinds(25/50)
Seat 8 is the button
Total number of players : 9
Seat 7: S ( $1575 )
Seat 8: H ( $780 )
Seat 10: G ( $1320 )
Seat 1: C ( $930 )
Seat 4: Hero ( $900 )
Seat 6: P ( $1125 )
Seat 2: R ( $1335 )
Seat 3: B ( $1095 )
Seat 5: Q ( $940 )
Level:3
Blinds(25/50)
There is no Small Blind in this hand as the Big Blind of the previous hand left the table.
** Dealing down cards **
Dealt to Hero [ Jc Jh ]
C folds.
R folds.
B folds.
Hero raises [150].
Q folds.
P folds.
S folds.
H folds.
G raises [1050].

Hero?

This is not an auto call against every opponent (although I'm calling a fair bit more than I'm folding), but given your description of the opponent I'd call.

I call, maybe bet slightly more preflop.

Okay, good, I'm glad you all agree with my call. I figured it was close. What's the weakest hand with which you'd make this call?

As a reward, you get to see my ugly beat. Donkey bitch won the whole tournament, too... See, I promised "interesting", and boy did I deliver! [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

G raises [1050].
Hero is all-In [750]
** Dealing Flop ** [ 8d, 5d, 9h ]
** Dealing Turn ** [ 4h ]
** Dealing River ** [ 6s ]
G shows [ 7d, 7c ] a straight, five to nine.
Hero shows [ Jc, Jh ] a pair of jacks.
G wins 200 chips from side pot #1 with a straight, five to nine.
G wins 1800 chips from the main pot with a straight, five to nine.
Hero finished in ninth place.
Hero has left the table.

I was about to reply that when people make these "tilt pushes" they normally have something decent, but not a monster like a medium PP. Then I read the results . . . I finally got one right!

I think you're way ahead of his range here in general, so yeah, call.
