    Default AJ blind vs blind, I'm big stack and BB is second stack

    Interesting spot here. Opp's stats were 31/16 and he had been pretty aggressively shoving over raises once blinds got to like 75/150. He had not shown down any of these shove over hands.

    I have run the ICM on this, but I thought I'd get some reactions from the crowd before posting it.

    PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em, 27 Tournament, 100/200 Blinds 25 Ante (4 handed) - Poker-Stars Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com

    Hero (SB) (t5196)
    BB (t3744)
    UTG (t1320)
    Button (t3240)

    Hero's M: 12.99

    Preflop: Hero is SB with A, J
    2 folds, Hero bets t600, BB raises to t3719 (All-In), Hero ????

    This happened to me just before and I assumed he was just defending his blind only to show QQ Had you been stealing his blind a bit previously? I think I probably call but I'm terrible at folding, hehe.

    it seems like we should just shove if we will raise/fold

    I was considering this, but since he wasn't the best player I was afraid of him making a retarded call with something like KTs which loses us both huge amounts of equity.

    If you are willing to call his shove you are better off shoving yourself

    As played I think I fold it, in this specific case I would probably raise a little less preflop (500 or so)
