Re: What to do with JT on the bubble?
First off, in my book, JTo is usually an easy push from the SB, per the later sentence in your post.
JTs or 89s are some of my favorite hands to push UTG in to four people on the bubble, assuming the table is weak/tight on the bubble. Really depends on your standards and style. In my opinion there's not a lot of difference between 66/77 and maybe even 88, compared to JT in terms of preflop equity against a weak/tight calling range. You're slightly better than an underpair against an overpair, and you're 41-59 against two overcards.
JTo is slightly worse than JTs, obviously. Given that you're not one of the smallest stacks I'll usually fold here but if I was one of the smaller stacks its not a horrible push imo.
Would you push sixes or sevens in to three people on the bubble UTG?
