55$ JJ preflop holdem or foldem

[Percussion]

I went to the fridge to ask Chris Ferguson, but he wasnt there... Sucks... so I am gonna ask even better players (2+2ers) about it!!

PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t50 (7 handed) converter

BB (t1345)
UTG (t2320)
MP1 (t1035)
MP2 (t3425)
Hero (t1375)
Button (t1840)
SB (t2160)

Preflop: Hero is CO with J[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], J[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img].
UTG calls t50, MP1 calls t50, <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Hero raises to t200</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Button raises to t700</font>, <font color="#666666">2 folds</font>, UTG folds, MP1 folds, Hero calls or raises or checks or mucks or throws cards at Villian to try to kill him!!

I'd prolly muck here, people typically don't re-raise like that with TT. Best case scenario is that the button has AK/AQs and you two are racing.

Angry fold.

Well I wouldn't exactly say that is the best case scenario. It's close, but I think I find a fold without a read.

Tough spot. $55. Typically players know what they are doing and are raising like that with just a moderately decent hand. Why didn't he push?

I mean that rhetorically, but it seems as though he is raisng hard, but not TT hard. More like QQ hard.

So what I'm saying is that I would fold.

Bzzzzzzt. Wrong.

1) I would not assume that the player was good unless I had some other information.

2) OP, I would fold here because your hand doesn't do very well against the range that he's making this raise with, regardless of whether its a good villain or not.
