JJ to potential isolation raise ($27)

    Default JJ to potential isolation raise ($27)

    BB's HUD stats were about 15/0 over 12 hands. Is this a potential isolation raise or should I GTFO? I have the overlay to flip, the question is how often does he have me dominated?

    PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t100 (9 handed) Hand History Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com (Format: FlopTurnRiver)

    BB (t1465)
    Hero (t1490)
    UTG+1 (t280)
    MP1 (t1975)
    MP2 (t2330)
    MP3 (t1395)
    CO (t1465)
    Button (t1380)
    SB (t1720)

    Preflop: Hero is UTG with J, J.
    Hero raises to t300, UTG+1 calls t280 (All-In), 6 folds, BB raises to t1465, Hero ????

    if you had raised 250, wouldnt UTG+1's all in then negate the BBs ability to shove? Something about the how he cant reraise a non full raise?

    Good point, I never thought of that, you might be right. Interesting strategy to prevent him re-raising.

    As played, are you calling or folding?

    i think either is okay.

    odds are there to flip but BB hasnt PFR'd yet but again sample is tiny yet his range will still be very tight.

    phew i made that easy reading. i think i may call depending on how ive read BB overall as a player during 15 hands, take some clock and open HH window to see if he has done anything out of line (then call)

    vqc hit it on the head by betting 250

    Even at 250, wouldn't hero's raise be a full raise that BB could re-raise against? Am I missing a key component here?
    Poker is easy, it's winning at poker that's hard.

    why would letting lots of people in against JJ knowing they can't be re raised be a good thing?

    I would play, you hit QQ/KK a lot probably but also some worse pairs and AJ types to compensate, and this is a pretty good spot for him to slow play AA.

    exactly bar i think its a good spot for AA to push.
