JJ hand at 50/100 - $55s
Blinds are 50/100. I have t1250, about 12x BB. There are still 7-8 players at the table so finishing in the money is not certain.
I get JJ in early position and raise to 300, a player from MP (no reads) pushes over the top for about 1000 and it comes back around to me. Fold or Call? If folds this, I have about 9x BB left which equates to a good enough stack to utilize fold equity. If I call this and win, money is more certain for me. However, if I lose this I'll be crippled and pretty much game over. What to do? |

Call easily. I'd seriously consider pushing preflop even with 12bb, as JJ is horrible to play OOP if called.

I'd say MP has a fairly wide range here, and you're only behind 3 of those hands. With the dead money in the pot, you have an easy call.

Re: JJ hand at 50/100 - $55s
Here is how you sort this type of problem out:
Step 1: Caluculate pot odds. bb+sb+your raise+his raise = pot....his raise-your raise = what you have to call. pot odds = pot - what you have to call. in this situation, you are getting 2:1 step 2: determine your equity when compared to his range. even if it is as tight as this: Text results appended to pokerstove.txt 58,218,336 games 0.079 secs 736,940,962 games/sec Board: Dead: equity (%) win (%) / tie (%) Hand 1: 36.1901 % [ 00.36 00.00 ] { JsJh } Hand 2: 63.8099 % [ 00.64 00.00 ] { AA-QQ, AKs, AKo } you need to call. edit: I'm running horribly and I am very grumpy. I really hate answering trivially easy questions like this. |
