Do you like your Jacks now?
« on: April 12, 2013, 14:28:24 PM »
In a recent live tournament at the Aria (blatant brag). I had been in the top 5 throughout the tournament and with 15 left the following hand came up.
There are 600 thousand chips in play I have 85K. Top 5 paid. $2.5k up top, $370 min cash.
I am in early position with JJ and with blinds at 1500/3000 I raise to 8k. My immediate right ( who has just won the midday at the Wynn) has played solid poker shoves 36k, folds round to late position who also shoves for approx 25K.
How do you like JJ now? What would you do?

doubt i"d fold
try assigning each of the all in players some ranges based on how they have played, then you should be able to do the maths.
Looking forward to making my first day 2

need to call 28k to win 69k (+antes?), and still have 49k behind if we lose..... easy call.

Also, if we"re planning to fold to a short stack"s shove, we probably shouldn"t be playing this hand in this position as we"re essentially bluffing.  If we have raised with a plan which is to call a shove, then two shoves actually juices the pot to make the call event better for us.

Jam it in their eyes while muttering "hold" under your breath and staring down the dealer daring him to deal a shocker  ;D

Easy call.

The 25k hand is presumably strong, though not necessarily as strong as yours. But we have a safety net - if you lose to him but win the side-pot against the 36k, you will only be 6k worse off than you are now. But you might win everything.

Fold = 77k
Call and lose = 49k
Call and lose, but win side-pot = 71k
Call and win = 146k

I assume you called. Unlucky.

Even I call here, it"s a no brainer already well articulated by some of APATs" finest.

Yep I called, and was up against AK and 1010, AK on the flop saw me off big style. I managed to final table, there were 5 places paid, and I went out in 7th when JJ let me down once again against the CLs J10s. Ian Ski, manipulated his short stack brilliantly to 5th, where they chopped after an hour of passing chips for just over $1000.

Shame on you here Mikey. You win that flip and this thread never exists.

Well done on calling, ul on not holding. At least you were in Vegas you Jammy Fecker!!  :)
