Default Push to isolate with JTs from middle position on bubble ?

Butwhyowhy is obvioulsy desperate and T1_chan will call my push with any A, K, or small pair. I havent stolen in the last few hands but the blinds are coming around. Push or fold ?

I don't see why a call is so bad here. The reason being, since everyone loves to make the money, especially at the $11s, you are almost certain to see a flop for the price of the BB, and may even get a free ride the whole way.

With a hand like JTs, you'd love to be able to see five cards for the price of a BB, and if you make a big hand, perhaps take a big chunk out of the stack of the BB. On the other hand, if he puts in a raise preflop, you can get away from it.

So, I like limping with a hand like this, that likes to see five cards but isn't strong enough to be a likely winner heads up.

maybe....i find that the loose passive players will allow you do this but the loose agro players wont and id hate to front the fee only to have T1 push

lately ive been taking notes on how each player handles situations like this, its a lot of work though and not always reliable

I would just call it. If the big stack pushed preflop, I fold.
