    Default ($60) JJ vs. shortstack early

    PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t30 (7 handed) Hand History Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com (Format: FlopTurnRiver)

    BB (t1465)
    UTG (t4720)
    MP1 (t715)
    Hero (t1505)
    CO (t2060)
    Button (t1340)
    SB (t1695)

    Preflop: Hero is MP2 with J, J.
    1 fold, MP1 raises to t120, Hero ???

    ---

    Villian seems decent, as I've seen him showdown relatively strong hands in the past. He lost his chips getting drawn out on.

    What's your move here?

    I think if you had 2-300 more i'd go for isolation, but as played, he is showing some strength by raising OoP. I call and take a flop, hope for a set or low cards.

    isn't that what mp1 wants though? so he can lead out the flop regardless of what shows up.

    Well, assuming this is a coinflip, an A,K,or Q will hit the board a little less than half the time.

    He's obviously not panicking yet so you have to believe that he has a decent hand. IF anything you can probably tighten up his calling range because of his stack size and position.


    I would call here and proceed accordingly (with caution) on the flop.
    Poker is easy, it's winning at poker that's hard.

    decent opponent hand range for a raise in MP:
    AA-99, AK, AQ, AJ.
    I think u need to reraise here a bit, probaby by 180 or so. This accomplishes 2 things:
    1. discourage people behind you from calling with marginal holdings
    2. Define your hand vs this opponent

    i agree, but hes gettin odds to call by only raising it 180 more. It may make him slow down a little though if he has a pocket pair with overs on the board or his hand misses.
