Curtains: folding JJ after a call+raise

[Irieguy]

I fold JJ here, too. But it has nothing to do with what type of player the raiser may be and everything to do with the chip stacks involved.

It's funny how one respondant said he thinks hero should call because of his stack, whereas his stack is precisely why I think he should fold.

Care to expand for us noobs?

(I can think of some reasons...but interested to hear your POV)

If you're a big favorite over villian's range, I can't see folding.

I think the one respondant was talking about hero's stack. Are you primarily talking about hero's or villian's?

But you can't figure to be a HUGE favorite here. You are probably a small favorite at best, and are hoping to see overcards or an underpair. Risking half of your stack here for what may be a small +EV can't be better than the EV gained from having a ton of FE when you need it most in a couple rounds. I think what Irieguy was hinting at was that this would be a much different hand to play if you had, say, 700-800 chips, and the FE you stand to gain by winning on your small edge was a lot more significant, making a small edge more reasonable to take.

I'm generally down with folding, but there are maniacs; even in the $215s.
