Have to say im kind of meeehh on rush. im not rolled for it and i only played for the bonus they're gonna give me. i found it to be less exciting....

Yo, rush players, bump...

Are those stack sizes normal in rush? Just curious.

It's more than half your stack to call and you said you just playing for the bonus i would fold wait awhile collect an easy 10FTPs and leave but that's just me.

not sure i understand you sly...
and like i said, first time playin rush so i cant answer your question. all i know is i bought in for a normal buyin.

thx undertaker, good point.

scared money you should fold. Other than that im jamming 10 10 to a bunch of short stackers any day of the weak. The fact you have 10 10 is a sweet bonus

You can call if you wanna be 20%

Sorry, I wrote that too quickly, here's a translation:

Yo, rush players (Hey, those of you who play rush poker, I don't play rush so I can't give an intelligent response), bump (nobody's replied to this yet, please do reply, it's a good post)...

Pocket pairs under JJ are rarely winning hand on FT.
I would fold here
Just click and you will get another rush hand maybe it will be AA

Most shortstackers do this in rush when they've just been sucked out on, and are on tilt with a medium to strong pocket pair, or your looking at something in the region of AQs/AKs. I very much doubt he has KK/AA, but I would imagine he had you beat here.
