JJ after a min-raise and two callers.

[Rage2100]

This was a 6-max $5.50 SnG. Is there any other way to play this at a 6-max? It seems to happen quite often and I sometimes wonder if it wouldn't just be better to complete from the SB after a raise and a couple of callers. I don't like doing this though, especially out of position.

Big Blind is t20 (6 handed)

UTG+1 (t1740)
CO (t1030)
Button (t1120)
Hero (t1500)
BB (t1050)
UTG (t760)

Preflop: Hero is SB with J , J .
UTG raises to t40, UTG+1 calls t40, 1 fold, Button calls t40, Hero raises to t250, 1 fold, UTG calls t210, 1 fold, Button calls t210

Flop: (t770) A , 5 , T (3 players)
Hero checks, UTG bets t100, Button raises to t600, Hero folds

This early I think I call and hope to play them as overs...that's weak tight, I know. But when I'm in this situation, I always get callers with trashy overs or royal rag combos...

Nice hand. I probably play it the same and ship a low flop.

At a 5.50, you dont really want to play poker until the blinds are 150, 200. Weak/tight? I guess, but your last sentence is why you play weak/tight until the blinds go up. At BB=150, you abandon weak/tight, start pwning the blinds, and opps go "where'd he come from?" Boy, is that fun!

On this hand, once the ace hits, you gotta shut down and since 2 opps were coming to the flop with you NO MATTA WHAT, keep it cheap. Heck, I might minraise there if at all.

While I understand the sentiment here, your edge is going to be so huge in these once the blinds go up, I'm not usually shipping anything here but a set and two pair. Even then, I probably value bet the whole way... but that's just me.
