Re: Can YOU get away from this hand?
I am a big fan of the check-raise-all-in in CERTAIN situations, but I think this is a very bad spot for it. The hero's chipstack is about the size of the pot, and so far, i assume that everyone in the pot has about the same...
If you check and someone in position bets with, for example AKo (one of the board's suit) they'll bet nearly the size of the pot... so they bet 900 into a 1300 pot, and you push (which is only about 500 more).....
The pot is now 3600, and it only costs AK 500 chips to see the turn and river (he has a 26% chance of beating your jacks)... needless to say, he's got correct odds to call, and his bet was probably correct in the first place. Anyways, if i could, i wouldn't see a single showdown in a tourney, and pushing immediately here seems like the best way to avoid a showdown.
just some thoughts
