    Default 16 turbo - jj facing early raise from short stack

    Really wasn't sure whether I should push over or fold here, or anything else I guess. Opinions?

    Push over. Opp has less than 5 BBs, so he is pushing wide. JJ is not a hand that wants to be up against anyone that will call that raise because overcards come on the flop 50% of the time. Just push to get it HU.

    Easy shove, you should be way ahead of his range unless he's a complete rock/idiot. You have the stack to make the decision without worrying about going busto, no way you can fold here. Shove maybe TT+, AK here, maybe 99 with any sort of read.

    Seems standard, was just a little worried about players behind me.

    I pushed to isolate and ran into kings behind. Didn't kill my stack though.

    i'd push here. even though you ran into kings behind you, your opps range for pushing is wide, and with this short handed of a table your jacks are more like queens value wise.

    I meant early in terms of position. Anyway thanks just wanted to confirm my push. Been on a slight cooler as of late with turbos so need to back up my play a little.
