Thoughts? Is JJ valuable enough to push PF here? Is my initial raise correct?

Don't castrate me, I'm kinda new here. Flog me if you wish.

I like the initial raise but I would probably flat call the reraise here instead of pushing

Hmm... At an $11, I don't know. You could certainly just call here.... But your opponents are certainly calling all sorts of crap that you want to be all-in against. I think this is reasonable (at an $11 where your opponents suck) but so is calling.

O yea didn't notice the buy-in, at the 11's I would probably push this cause you're gonna be shown some terrible hands a lot of the time but any buy in higher I would normally flat call and see the flop.

Hi Guys,

I think going all in is too aggressive. If you were raised by one opponent I might do it (unlikely though) but the fact is you were called by one opponent that you still have to worry about and raised by one opponent. Suppose BOTH call! JJ is looking mighty poor in that situation. I gotta call and hope to hit the flop.

It was a 10/1, but for future reference how did you find out the buyin?

Well, if it wasn't an $11, I really doubt you can just push. It made the play most interesting. It's obviously an $11-$33... And it's much easier saying $11 than low buyin.
