Default Re: ($55) Awkward spot with JJ preflop

Looks like a great thread I missed. I can't go through it all at work, but I just wanted to submit a possible line that I don't yet take, but am thinking about that this hand might suit.

In any situation where you are fairly deep, but think a push is a good play, what about just a really big pot committing reraise? In a hand like this, there's no harm in doing that if anyone has QQ+ vs a push. AQ is going to fold anyway. It might make some difference if someone holds JJ- or AK. Having someone call or push behind with 99 or TT would be nice, right? You might not be happy with what happens with AK, but there is a good chance AK was going to call the push anyway.

On the other hand, I like to think that middle PPs will think I'm the biggest fishy donk in the world when I push 2k chips and call.
