    Default JJ medium stack 4 handed 3 pay

    *** HOLE CARDS ***
    Dealt to Alameda22 [Jc Jh]
    Alameda22: raises 400 to 600
    ronjeremy230: folds
    gotboost4u: folds
    hollywd6: raises 400 to 1000

    This hand and AK were the only 2 premium starting hands ive picked up, the only reason im still here is because ive won a couple of coinflips with some pretty bad hands. If i fold at this point ill have a lil less than double the shortstack. I could call and push any reasonable flop, which lookin back at it now seems like a better choice. If I call and fold ill have 2k left, which isnt bad, but its would only put me with 3 more BBs than the short stack. What do you think?

    (meaningless results below)

    Alameda22: raises 2065 to 3065 and is all-in
    hollywd6: calls 2065

    Alameda22: shows [Jc Jh] (three of a kind, Jacks)

    hollywd6 collected 6330 from pot

    Seat 3: hollywd6 (big blind) showed [Ah Qs] and won (6330) with a straight, Ten to Ace

    A 3x raise could look like a steal from the BB's view and he's testing you out without giving up his tournament.

    It's tricky, but I'm leaning towards push. The small stack may blind out soon, but he's got at least another 4 hands to catch something pushable and possibly double up.

    You are getting huge odds to call here, 4:1. Obviously you are pushing a flop with no, or maybe only 1 overcard. Only thing that sucks is that he might push first, and then you have a tough call.

    You can survive if you call and fold as well.

    Pushing here is not bad, but it's almost certainly a coin flip for your whole stack, and I'm not sure you are quite that desperate.

    I would push, you want to build a stack to win it

    I smooth call. He's calling if you push. I agree that you're as likely as not looking at a coinflop or some kind of Axs situation. I'm probably pushing any flop that doesn't have an A and doesn't have both a K & Q.

    The above varies with reads.
