    Default JJ shove or standard raise??

    I pushed here but felt so weak afterwards, just putting all my chips in.

    What would you guys do here. OPP dont seem to be very aggro postflop (again). And got position. But then again, do i wanna mess with them.

    I just thought, wow, 900 for free with a good hand (huh, lol).

    MP EFUBPETE (5940)
    CO-1 cowbows1 (15035)
    CO toghy (4640)

    Preflop: Deafmann is in the SB with Jh Jc
    1 fold, TONTON calls 300, 4 folds, toghy calls 300, 1 fold, Deafmann raises to 5867.50, 3 folds

    A raise to 1500 would probably be better. Your shove is fine too since people tend to call shoves lighter than raise but a raise in this spot from players who limp(which tells you that they are generally bad) may get called a decent portion of the time and get you more value.

    The shove is fine. I think that it makes your hand appear weaker and will invoke more calls. Besides, a standard raise of 1500 would be 26% of your stack. Also, your stack is less than 20bbs and this is the time that I tend to just stick my stack in over raises and several weak limps.
