Was wodering what you thought about this hand in a recent party $250K tourney. I had just been moved to this table so I don't have any reads. Is folding JJ here to tight for a bigger buy in party tourney?

Is your converter screwy?

Maybe I'm missing something, but the post does not make much sense.

Raise (prob push)
folding is silly to that weak 2xBB bet. The only good thing about folding is that you dont have to worry about positional disadvantage post flop. However, you can rid yourself of this same disadvantage by raising.

edit- Didn't see that the converter screwed up.

Sorry maybe converter was screwed up maybe the operator. Not sure.

OK, so UTG min-raises, MP1 goes all-in, button calls, action to you. I think we can safely fold JJ here.

OK - I see what your question is now...

Easy fold. Period.

I'm assuming MP1 pushed for T1823 and the button called?

If this is the case, I'm folding behind a push and a call. Not to mention we are not closing the action here, and even though UTG's minraise probably means he has two cards, you never know.

I like the fold here too, particularly late in the tourney.

With no reads, easy fold. I don't know about you, but I'm generally nervous when UTG min-raises.
