Neither Big Chief nor kencain limped with big hands.

There is 350 in dead chips in the pot, I ended up pushing here, what do you think about my play?

I don't mind a push here, in fact I'd probably push too.

Any raise that will get all these callers to fold will be at least half your stack, so pushing is the best option. With blinds at 100 and 350 in the pot, you really don't want action with JJ, you want to take it down now.

Neither Big Chief nor kencain limped with big hands.

What has their standard raise been? If they have been putting in standard raises then this weak raise may be because they have weak hands.

This is such a hard call to make that I would probably fold unless I had a read on them. If I did play though I would most likely push to elimate one (or all) of the players.

[baudib]

I'm confused. did you just say you would fold JJ in late position vs. two limpers?

This is such a hard call to make that I would probably fold unless I had a read on them.

WHAT?!

Looks like he misread the HH and thought they were min-raising. With the reads I push this. Would probably push it without the reads as well.

For me it's an insta-push. I've had more trouble taking flops with two jacks lately than I've ever had. It seems to me esp. against limpers, pushing is by far the best option, because smaller pairs tens to fives may very well have limped and will call your push, a great situation for you.

Also, it should eliminate the guess work of wondering whether someone hit a King, 7, 3 flop.

I push this all day long, nh.

Yes I did. Sorry about that. That's what I get for trying to post while watching football.

Against two limpers I would definately raise and with the chipstack would probably just push.

Just to play devil's advocate here, raising 400 would still leave him with 1000 in chips. You guys don't think that that raise would get the limpers out?

[gabe]

they arent calling...

[TLR]

I would push

Maybe, but (a) this is on PokerRoom.com, so probably not and (b) what if he only manages to push one caller out? Any flop with overcards has to have you concerned after that.
