Too late to fold, cross your fingers and call. Nothing wrong with your play up till then. It would take a monster for BB to make it a "manage-a-trois"

too late too fold? i have about 1200 out of 1500 starting at that point. and its level 1.

from your other posts, im guessing you're attempting to troll.

Sorry, wasn't paying attention.. Assumed it was 800 starting chips. If the BB had a monster he probably would have come over the top. You seem to already have a read on the guy who has pushed so call.

[CobraGoat]

i had no read on the all in. i agree with your thought that BB was probably weak (which he was, with 88) but i still feel weak calling the push in general, let alone with someone to act after me, when im holding JJ.

anyways, i folded and finished ITM.

NO WAY, easy fold EASY, BB could have KK, and not want an obvious 3rd raise in there, FOLD MAN FOLD, you have plenty of chips to continue playing and are most likely to be vs. bigger pp if you call, FOLD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

As far as TT I limp in, raising is ok, the hand you posted, if I raise I make it 3.5 or 4 times bb (no biggie either way) and I play it like you did, fold to flop bet.

I limp TT and JJ in early position in level 1 and play them mostly for set/overpair value. I think there was a pretty big debate over JJ, but I'm pretty sure it's agreed that TT is a limp.

[the_joker]

Hand 1 I'd just limp and try to hit a set. Or if the table is very aggressive, just fold.

Hand 2 would be dependent on my read on the opponent. I'd only reraise a very loose opponent and probably fold against a super tight opponent. I'd certainly fold after the all-in.

[CobraGoat]

ahhh, this is interesting.

limping TT and maybe JJ is for what levels of the game? 1-4?

the TT, whatever, but the JJ in SB was a very tough decision for me to decide what to do. it was the second hand of the game and my only read was that the hijack had called a 4xBB raise on the first hand and folded on a two face card flop. whatever that means. not sure why i would go for the reraise from that position at that point of tourney now that i think about it.

thanks for the thoughts
