JJ late in tourney

Eken · #1 09-20-2005, 11:13 AM

We are down to 15 from 300 players in a $5 tournament. Blinds are 1000-2000, the top 4 places are very close in stacksize aruond 105 000, the rest of the field have stacks below 50 000.

Both I and BB is in top 4, I raise to 6000 with JJ from UTG+1 folded to BB who calls.

BB checks, I bet 12 000, BB raises to 40 000, I ???

Push and hope he doesn't have a set.

I agree. This smells like and A9 situation or even pocket 10s. Or even a complete bluff. He might just think you're making a continuation bet with AQ etc.

yeah.

And also hope he didnt smooth call KK/AA/QQ.

I don't think there's any way of getting away from this.

If you have to play jacks (which I hate playing), you have to play them aggressively in this situation.You're going down with them or winning big. Pushpushpush.
