Re: JJ near bubble - badly misplayed?
With the blinds this high I would push preflop. The only thing that would really concern me with a preflop push is the fact that UTG limped for 200 with a stack of 305. This play by UTG seems to indicate that UTG is either bleeding chips or has a monster. With no reads on UTG I would lean towards the latter.
The problem for me with just limping, is it looks like you've got the best hand preflop. By letting the other 4 players limp into the pot you are letting them get a cheap flop and outdraw you when you are most likely ahead. I prefer to make them pay to play catchup.
If someone has limped with a monster, then so be it. With blinds this high I'm unlikely to see so many chips in the pot again with just limpers and me having this strong of a hand.
Assuming you decide to just limp, then the push on the flop seems reasonable. There is 1k in the pot, you have an overpair on a board that has a flush draw on it.
