I cant pull a stop and go and I feel like its too good of a hand to pass up on which might be cause its the best hand other than AJ which was not shown down. That the only hand ive played.

PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t150 (6 handed) converter

Button (t1925)
SB (t2255)
Hero (t1535)
UTG (t4280)
MP (t2375)
CO (t1130)

Preflop: Hero is BB with J[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], K[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]. SB Raises to 450. I feel like Calling is horrid.

Final Pot: t225

Although I do see some good arguments for pushing, I would fold this.

Laying this down is a big mistake, and calling is even worse.

Push and holla is so desired.

Why is laying this down such a big mistake?

Think of the range of hands SB will raise with here. I think it's something along the lines of "anything but 32-72, and maybe them, too if they're suited."

Unless SB makes a habit of folding his SB to you, I say push.

if it's a player who will lay down a marginal hand to your all in,then i like the push a lot. it's a toss up, either play has it's merits. mostly dependant on your opponent's call range.

it depends some on the type of player making the raise.. but most of the time i think this is a good push.

I push overtop here unless I have a really good read that he will only do this with premium cards.

Push. I wish we didn't have position here [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img].

Silly me, I did not realie it was the SB making the raise. Perhaps I should read into the HHs a little better. :/

I push this almost 100% of the time unless the player has folded to me from the SB a few times before. If you are up against an ace of KQ, then meh, good luck.
