JJ Bubble (6.50)

    Default JJ Bubble (6.50)

    Villian seems TAG. Has opened up since the bubble and blinds when up , i would say he's raising about top 20% but with his big oversized raise should i pretty much assume i have no fold equity and just fold? Of course i shoved over and bubbled but I'm just wondering what others would do in this case.
    PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t150 (4 handed) Poker-Stars Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com (Format: FlopTurnRiver)

    Button (t4985)
    SB (t1145)
    Hero (t2305)
    UTG (t5065)

    Preflop: Hero is BB with J, J.
    UTG raises to t750, 2 folds, Hero raises to t2305,

    In a game I would push this one. I don't think it's true to say that you have NO fold equity, if UTG calls and loses he still loses almost half his stack.

    I ran it through Wiz and if opp opens 15% and calls with 12% it is very slightly +EV.

    Without looking deep into it, I think I would do as you did in this situation aka Push over.

    I tried some ranges in pokerstove, and if he has a hand in top 5% it s a coin flip. You are the agressor, andf even with the size of his bet I think there is a little chance he folds seeing your push, especially as you read him as being a TAG.

    His raise UTG is quite big. How lose are the other people at the table? Is there a big calling station who may call a big UTG bet like his? If not, the size of the bet could be seen as a bet which doesnt want to be called, like a mid pocket pair lower than yours.

    I am not as experienced as you are Detroit, but I think I would push too.
    Yes.
    No.
    I dont know.
    He doesnt mean it,
    But he acts like he does.
