29bb with JJ

Hero UTG +2 3xbb with JJ

Button calls

SB all in for 70bb

Is this a call or a fold? Easy fold with one player left to act behind, right?

Unless SB is a nit, I am calling here. You are only behind to QQ+, which is 1,5% of hands, and most people are rejamming way wider than that. The guy behind is a further incentive to get it in, because if he had QQ+, he would not just have called. So against him you are always ahead, and he will either fold leaving dead chips in the pot, or call which allow you to potentially triple your stack.

Easy fold for me, no need to jam with JJ just because SB say so with his 70bbs all in, it would be reckless, 29 bbs are just enough to keep your play alive and wait for some better chances.

You should call here. As Fundiver points out, you're only behind if the shover has QQ, KK, or AA. It's unlikely he has KK or AA because his range is likely capped. This means that if he had a premium hand like AA, he would usually reraise smaller to get action instead of shove 70bb and try to knock everybody out of the pot.

Since you're also getting good odds, I would definitely call with the JJ.

That's right with this hand and thus the stack you just kolit! And here is to accept whether push from BB already need to think! If he is not a maniac then I think he should understand that you have a good hand and his push can be easily reset!

If you have taken notes of that player and you know how he plays, you will have the answer there if it is convenient to call or throw your hand. In a freeroll, with 29BB, I go all in.

For my play style, I would call 29bb with JJ in this action. The person who shoves is using pressure because you are shortstuck. He might reraise you with any pair and many aces.

Difficult choice. I really do not like a hand like JJ, but still - it's a call !!!

 

[johnsulliv]

I think that although the small blind is shoving potentially wide, and very few hands are held that are ahead of yours, it’s still a fairly reckless move to call.

I agree that the big stack is pressuring you, but if you call, I think then you bend to his pressure, the big stack isn’t stealing blinds often enough for in this manner. Going out on JJ is dignified, but is being beaten and busted by hands like Q8s, K2s etc?

 

[stylebender72]

EASY standard call less than 30bb, and SB is never 3bet shoving AA KK or QQ.

 

[ramignis]

you need to watch how the player plays throughout the tournament. but in any case, you'll probably be behind its all-in range.
