I think it's kind of pointless... if you want to play JTd, just call and hope the other guy checks it through with you

This is horrible. You have JT, it's crap. It beats half the hands the raiser has, less if he's not pushing any two. If you want to take him out just call and let the other guy call too. Even if the other guy has 1000 chips instead of 5000 this is awful.

I'd seriously just call here. Pot odds are too good, and BB will need a pretty good hand to push over the top (unless he pulls an isolation play himself). How good is BB? Call and bet strong when you flop a pair.

I really like the play, but I take it in any position but this one. I would rather let big stack call for his pot odds and give a chance to knock shorty out. my prefrence though.

There is no "If you want to play JTs". If you fold this ITM with 200/400 blinds, you suck at SNGs. The only options I see are calling and raising, and the question of raising is how much. The only two options I considered here were raising and calling. Let me reiterate that one more time. If you fold JTs here, you suck at SNGs.

The short stack shouldn't be pushing any two, it's pretty easy to figure out that much. JTs is far from an overwhelming favorite against any 2 anyway. Please keep making this play.

I'm sorry, but you're wrong. There's really nothing else to say.

Why the hell did you make this post in the first place if you think your play was so good? I really wish someone would post how good JTs does against any two.

as big a fan as I am of making such isolation plays, I don't believe this is the best time and place to be doing this.

This is mainly because the equity you gain when the BB folds isnt that large due to still having to beat the button, who SHOULD have a hand thats better than yours, meanwhile you are risking 5k in chips to do so. If you had like 6k-8k and or the blinds are higher I like this play a lot more, because the risk/reward ratio is better for you.
