JJ on the bubble. Small stack almost blinded out. Do I call a push?
Is the right play to call here, or wait for SS to blind out?
Party Poker No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t200 (4 handed) converter Hero (t1290) SB (t2870) BB (t600) UTG (t3240) Preflop: Hero is Button with J[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], J[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]. <font color="#CC3333">UTG raises to t1500</font>, Hero...????

You should call, and if you told us its a $215 you'd be a liar because there arent enough chips in play. The SB isnt almost blinded out yet. If he was allin with 5 chips maybe itd be close, but 600 is too much.

I should have phrased it better. Is there ever a level where a fold here makes sense? I called, BTW.

Re: JJ on the bubble. Small stack almost blinded out. Do I call a push
Here's an odd one. Why would UTG risk half of the 2nd largest stack if he's just making an opening raise. A raise of 8x bb (again, enough to call an all-in if he has to) looks suspicious and probably means I'm holding the nuts hand (AA/KK/QQ/AK).
Or it could be a total bluff, but I doubt it and my instict here would be to fold with no reads.

if it was a 215 i would call even faster... i would expect the range of hands for UTG to be greater in a 215

Re: JJ on the bubble. Small stack almost blinded out. Do I call a push?
i havent really read what everyone else says, but if anyone says fold, they are wrong. the BB has WAY too many chips to make this a fold. you win this hand you are now the chip leader, and are playing for first. if you lose to A3, so what, shieeet happens. if the BB has like 3 chips left after posting, MAYBE i will fold. but if the utg player is good at all, hes pretty much raising any 2 here. however, if i was sb, i might just push any 2 against him.. yea, so anyways, autocall with JJ. GGs. holla
