    Default Another jj (6.50)

    Bleh can we fold? Villian had been tight in the early rounds but had opened up his raising range a lot from what i noticed. But i havn't seen him get out of line with re - raises.

    PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t150 (5 handed) Poker-Stars Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com (Format: FlopTurnRiver)

    BB (t3005)

    MP (t1950)
    Button (t2075)
    SB (t2990)

    Hero raises to t450, 2 folds, SB raises to t1200, 1 fold, [color=#CC3333]Hero

    Is 3x raising fine at this level? I usually 2.5 it but i was lazy and didn't feel like picking up the keyboard (my "desk" is a stand with the monitor on it and my lazy-boy is the chair , bleh i wish my laptop didn't break)

    Sure you can raise to 450, but cbetting will be a bit more expensive and you will be commited sooner.

    It’s either push or fold and we have to assume he won’t fold. Then the pot is 75+150(blinds) + 450(your bet) + 2990-75(his stack) = 3590. You have to call 2915-450 = 2465. You get 3.5:2.5 and you have to win 2465/(3590+2465)*100 = 40.7%. Even a tight player would do this with at least TT+ AK+ I would say.

    Hand 1: 56.771% 55.40% 01.37% 233355456 5780460.00 { TT+, AKs, AKo }

    I am not sure how to calculate your $ev, maybe someone else can do those calculations.
    I am just another learning player, so read my comments (very) open minded.

    Your title doesn't match your post!

    Anyway, I agree with mattiesmat - 400 to go preflop and shove over the re-raise. I don't like flat calling here since if he has QQ+ you're pretty much owned and you might fold the best hand if the flop comes with overcards to your JJ and he open shoves the flop.

    Dont have the time to run it now, but it will be very interesting to see ICM on this one with those stack sizes
