The damn bubble again.

I have been getting my ass kicked at the 33s tonite and decisions like this are not helping.
Not sure what to do here. Eastbay's program said it is too close to have a clear winner. Player was tight and had never min rasied before. Weak hand or sneaky trap? Hero's play? Notice the stack sizes. With Eastbay's tool, TT is a clear fold and QQ is a clear push but JJ is right on the border line.

Party Poker No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t200 (4 handed) converter

BB (t890)
UTG (t1435)
Hero (t900)
SB (t4775)

Preflop: Hero is Button with J[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], J[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img].

I would push and it wouldn't even be close.

IC5, the minraise probably means he don't want to play mr bigstack. I'd say he has some crappy hand like 66s or AT.

Interesting. TT is a clear fold?
I know i would have a hard time folding that..

What other reads did you have on the minraiser. What other raises had he been using so far(had he been pushing?)
I think this is usefull information if you should find out if it is a weak hand or a trap. A player that have been frequently pushing and then suddenly minraises is something to look out for..

What hand ranges have you used for the minraiser then when you used Eastbay's program?

Yes, this is because TT does not have any pretty pictures on it like JJ does, so it doesn't look as good when you flip it over in a push.

Just remember the 3 Ps of SnGs:
PUSH
PRETTY
PICTURES

I've not used this tool, and far be it from me to question it....

Can someone please explain why TT is a clear fold?
