    Meh , at the 3.40's it was an instacall for me. Im not sure about the 6.50's (where im STUCK at).

    JJ instamuck.
    QQ ehhhhh i dunna.
    KK instacall (at least at these low levels)

    I would call at a $6.50, particularly with the (likely) dead chips in the pot. This shove is a squeeze play with a weaker hand often enough to compensate for the times you run into AA.

    BTW, don't post results in your initial post.

    I'm definitely calling here, there's a good chance Lynx will fold with 2 AI ahead of him and you're probably ahead of the other guy

    Call. You are ahead more often than not.

    from a 45 man 60

    people think squeeze plays are awesome or are just dumb, I pretty much need history to fold QQ+ pre flop at this point.
