Late JJ Hand

PP $50 + $5. No reads. I think this was a good play. I would be in good shape if I won, and could still recover if I lost. Standard play, or too big a risk?

I like it. JJ is plenty to take on shorty IMO.

Very easy push IMO. Chances of you dominating are much much higher than vice versa

Given the blinds and stacks sizes, I can't see any reasonable scenario where I don't push here.

Seems fairly standard. Anyone that disagrees with the push, I would be very interested in reading their reasoning.

jcm, why are you asking? This seems like very standard strategy often discussed on this board. If villain's stack was more, like the same size as yours, I'd probably pass here since you've got 21xBB. That being said, I'm sure ICM will say that you should call with slightly less here.
