(22) JJ in the squeeze
 

Limp-pusher is loose/somewhat agressive, caller is a solid player, not great though.


Seat 4: HERO [ JS,JD ] ($2,860 in chips)
Seat 5: OHCE ($1,805 in chips)
Seat 6: lawro ($1,520 in chips)
Seat 7: Blue Fin ($3,045 in chips)
Seat 9: toha68 ($3,580 in chips)
Seat 10: tabby11 ($2,190 in chips)



ANTES/BLINDS
lawro posts blind ($50), Blue Fin posts blind ($100).

PRE-FLOP
toha68 folds, tabby11 calls $100, HERO bets $350 , OHCE calls $350, lawro folds, Blue Fin folds, tabby11 bets $2,090 and is all-in, HERO...?

I know im not desperate in chips, but I have great odds for a coin flip to have a large stack. Should I have bet more in the first place?

Any thoughts welcomed

Thanks,

HC

I raise to 500'ish preflop. I see 77-TT do this limp reraise all in when they see the pot has become big way too much, to not call this. Sometimes you'll see AA, but not nearly enough IMO. Call the all in.

Re: (22) JJ in the squeeze
 

Have you seen the guy slowplay anything up to this point? That observation would weigh pretty heavily for me on a call or not. While I think a smaller PP is likely, I don't think it's going to happen quite enough to risk your tournament life on what might turn out to be a coinflip.

I don't know how to weight the possibilities here but:

99, TT - 80% win
AK, AQ - 54% win
AA, KK, QQ - 20% win

This is definitely a play that happens quite a bit with AA but the all-in response does seem a bit strong. It might be consistent with a guy who would limp in EP with KK hoping for some kind of raise behind.

I dunno, personally, if I feel like I'm quite a bit better than these other guys, I might just get away from this one. But I might just be weak/tight.

He was the type that min bets into the flop when he just hit a set, or straight.

Re: (22) JJ in the squeeze
 

He sounds like the type of guy who thinks the best way to win chips is to slowplay hands and not raise much for value. With that in mind, I'd probably fold this and get into hands you're more confident in later.
