JJ on the bubble. Small stack almost blinded out. Do I call a push?
Is the right play to call here, or wait for SS to blind out?
Party Poker No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t200 (4 handed) converter Hero (t1290) SB (t2870) BB (t600) UTG (t3240) Preflop: Hero is Button with J[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], J[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]. <font color="#CC3333">UTG raises to t1500</font>, Hero...????

You should call, and if you told us its a $215 you'd be a liar because there arent enough chips in play. The SB isnt almost blinded out yet. If he was allin with 5 chips maybe itd be close, but 600 is too much.

I should have phrased it better. Is there ever a level where a fold here makes sense? I called, BTW.

Re: JJ on the bubble. Small stack almost blinded out. Do I call a push
Here's an odd one. Why would UTG risk half of the 2nd largest stack if he's just making an opening raise. A raise of 8x bb (again, enough to call an all-in if he has to) looks suspicious and probably means I'm holding the nuts hand (AA/KK/QQ/AK).
Or it could be a total bluff, but I doubt it and my instict here would be to fold with no reads.

I took it to mean "I have a marginal hand that I don't want action with." I was right - he had KQ. Knowing that, I am happy with the call. I just wanted to make sure it was correct as I have been folding JJ and QQ lately when I should have been calling.

[/ QUOTE ] Do you are saying that if I somehow _knew_ he had KQ, I should have folded, because it's a coinflip?
