JJ PSKO vs Shortstack

[bianconi_10]

Deep in a 1.10 turbo PKO. A number of factors make this a bit of an unusual spot:

1) UTG's range - Only 15 hands but loose-passive stats for the tiny sample. Should treat him as relatively unknown and give him a reasonably strong range opening 3x from UTG late.

2) CO's range - Also only 15 hands but TAG stats for the tiny sample. If we treat him as unknown, we have to give him some credit for recognizing that UTG's range should be strong so he shouldn't be shoving too wide here.

3) Bounty factor - Unfortunately I didn't make a note of the bounty values at the time (anyone know how to get this info?). I have CO covered but UTG has me covered.

UTG: 34.01 BB (VPIP: 6.67, PFR: 0.00, 3Bet Preflop: 0.00, Hands: 15)
UTG+1: 46.35 BB (VPIP: 10.00, PFR: 5.26, 3Bet Preflop: 0.00, Hands: 20)
MP: 33.09 BB (VPIP: 100.00, PFR: 100.00, 3Bet Preflop: 100.00, Hands: 1)
MP+1: 60.28 BB (VPIP: 35.71, PFR: 30.77, 3Bet Preflop: 33.33, Hands: 15)
CO: 14.25 BB (VPIP: 20.00, PFR: 16.67, 3Bet Preflop: 0.00, Hands: 15)
BTN: 45.38 BB (VPIP: 13.33, PFR: 14.29, 3Bet Preflop: 0.00, Hands: 15)
Hero (SB): 22.47 BB
BB: 12.93 BB (VPIP: 33.33, PFR: 33.33, 3Bet Preflop: 60.00, Hands: 9)

8 players post ante of 0.13 BB, Hero posts SB 0.5 BB, BB posts BB 1 BB

Pre Flop: (pot: 2.5 BB) Hero has Jh Jd

UTG raises to 3 BB, fold, fold, fold, CO raises to 14.13 BB and is all-in, fold, Hero raises to 22.35 BB and is all-in

No-brainer shove to isolate the shorter stack?

Yep, clear shove to ISO, especially with bounties in play. When you add to it that you are on 22BB stack and will soon be <20bbs at the next level, it makes it even easier to shove like you did..

There is an article made by a poker player that has 20 years of experience and has a completely different opinion from mine Check it out, and figure for yourself what suits you better

Shove it's ok u got fold equity over UTG+in PKO they call rly wide and u can be ahead.

There is no way I’d fold JJ in this spot, if you double up you will be able to apply pressure on the table.

It all depends on what your opponents think about the game of the Hero at the table? If you have an image of a good player, then the chip leader will think that you have a very strong hand, because there are 2 short stacks on the table and you will not bet with bad cards. In addition, a combination such as JJ is too strong to throw at such high blinds. Playing turbo sng, I often tried to wait out short stacks, throwing good hands, and as a result I lost myself, because the blinds ate me, and short stacks miraculously collected good combinations. So this is definitely a push.
