I fold in that spot. I think it's a personal preference thing though, since I think you're right, but I think it's close (re: his range). I prefer to fold in this spot because I think it's close and I can get my money in in better spots later. (in in? wtf, i'm tired.)

Put him on a hand guys.

Really JJ is the only hand I am scared of.

QQ+, he is not doing this.

AK/AQ, good chance, but still will be ahead here.

99-22. Good chance of this and I dominate this.

Depends who "he" is. If "he" is me, I'll have AA or KK, and get many calls from people who don't think anyone would do this [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

I love pushing all in with AA or KK PF early in an sng. Don't do it all the time, but you'd be surprised how often it pays off.

I was in a spot like this against a donk, who had gone pretty agro PF with ATo, and another unknown hand. This was the 3rd time he had come over the top of someone, still in level 1, and I had JJ.

Figured that my hand easily beats his range, I called. He turns over KQs, spikes a Q to win.

Was it worth it? No. Not for the risk that a donk gets QQ+ just as often as anyone else. I don't think you can rule out QQ+ making these plays, hoping that someone else will call them in this spot.

I think you see 99-22 here enough to make this a good call, people love their pocket pairs at the 22's

Don't forget that there are two people still to act behind you that have already limped. You have to factor in the chances that one of the limped with a big PP as well.

I think this is a fold and wait for a better chance to double up.

Without a read, this is a pretty standard fold.
