Default Re: Final Three Decision Point

My best initial guess would be he is pushing with any face or any ace. This being said, I would want to maximize my chances of knocking him out if I were going to call. So, I'd call with Jacks or better, AK, AQs and KQs.

If you knew what the other guy had you would do a lot of things. My point is that with a pocket pair you are probably going to be a 60%-80% favorite against most of the hands that a player who is constantly pushing is going to push with. Take advantage of it as much as possible.

Default Poll and Hand Results

Thanks to all who responded to my poll! Of the 58 current poll responses, about 72% fall in the 55 to 99 range, with the modal and median response being 77.

In the heat of the battle, I felt like I probably made a mistake about 2 seconds after mucking pocket jacks. [My decision may have been influenced by the fact that I had just lost a chunk of my stack to FF in a pot where he called my preflop raise.] TT called all-in with AQs and doubled-up after flopping two pair. I'm not sure whether TT was thinking well enough to muck AQs had I called first.

But don't despair for the gerbil! [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img] I battled on after that pot, and eventually busted TT when he overplayed his top-pair-medium-kicker. With the chip lead, I made quick work of FF to win the tournament! [img]/images/graemlins/cool.gif[/img]

Do you think it was a big mistake to muck JJ?
