Default Re: JJ bubble question

I fold this without hesitation.

Think about it from villain's perspective. He's 2nd stack, betting 27% of his chips into the only player with enough chips to take him out. Meanwhile, it's the bubble and the short stack has only a couple of orbits left. If I'm villain, I only make that raise under the following conditions:

1) I have a monster hand (AA, KK, QQ, AK)
2) I'm planning on calling a re-raise

Under those conditions, as hero with the big stack (but a stack small enough to be crippled by villain), putting it on the line with JJ just doesn't make much sense.

Edit: The above assumes no significant reads.
