Party tournament. Blinds are 2000/4000, my stack is roughly 100K, villians stack is roughly 75K.
Villian open raises mid position to 15K, Folded to me in late position. I have JJ-what now? I think this is delicate hand to play. It could go awesomely right and also awesomely wrong. I would like to hear opinions on how best to play this hand. (there are no reads on villian this is his first hand at this table). ty. ruan99 |

well, if you have no reads i would probably lean towards a push preflop, but flat calling with the plan of getting it in on any nonA flop is not bad either.

what range do you put an MP opener on that folding would be correct?

The raise is pretty big. I would call 10K and decide on flop what to do. I just dont want to pay 15K and get trapped on a 9 high flop. I'm just wondering if any good players consider folding. I considered it greatly. But im not that good.lol

Barring some spectacular read, you can't fold this.

if it were UTG i think you could consider folding (i still wouldn't, but i dont think it would be all that bad)
vs a range of AJs+,TT+,AQo+ you're behind, so vs a tight opponent UTG, a fold wouldn't be unreasonable. But middle position raise could mean a lot more, so this is a push/call, whichever you think gets more money in by a worse hand. |

I almost never coin flip if I dont have to. My stack being this size means that I dont have to, so pushing in preflop is not an option for me. Maybe that is something I need to fix. So nobody likes to fold here? Man, I must be tight or just plain scared. JJ is good hand to me but not great. Lets say you called and its a Q high flop. He bets 20K. what now?

[ QUOTE ]
I almost never coin flip if I dont have to. My stack being this size means that I dont have to, so pushing in preflop is not an option for me [/ QUOTE ] There was a thread earlier this week w/ the best advice you've gotten for MTT's... one of the quotes was "If you always get your money in as a 55% favorite, you'll be the best tournament player in the world" I think that would be most helpful to you. You can't be afraid of getting into a coinflip, especially when you'd be the one pushing, because then it's not a coinflip, you have fold equity to. - As for the Q high flop, i'd probably raise/push. Depends on the stack sizes. And i'm too lazy to hit the back button and reread them. |

I like the quote and your advice. I have him covered by 30K. I see that pushing against AK would be just fine. If i win i have huge chips, if i lose i am still in contention. Do you personaly push every time here? what about a reraise to 40K or should I just get it all in there? and if I run into AA then so be it right.
