Would you have made this call?

jj pretty much sux

if your goal is to get 1st then ya call, however you need to be able to know that HU, with blind increases means no matter how 'good' u-r, ur gonna have to play the blind instruction rather than ur money and time.

As a Physicist we're taught early that time-space is never distance, it is, and always has been, light,,,, spot the bubble, my friend.

JJ is a hand you want to push not call a allin with especially not 3 way pot. toss em if this aint for the win then no point in being at risk for your turny.

Even if you made good reads and you thought they had garbage, your JJ is still a terrible all-in hand after all that action late in a tourney. JJ is alot better early on when the donks go all in with Ace-rag or pocket 3's when the blinds are small.

probably would, Jaacks are by no means great but sometimes its the best you will get the whole tournament

u use holdem for stadistics, maybe that help more than a feeling of wining, but was a call not very good for me

Wow, thanks for the replies. And thanks for the link s810car, very informative. I should start reading more about poker. My game has kind of stagnated.

I was trying to get a few bucks out of the tourney. I wanted a little bankroll without having to deposit some money. So, calling that all-in was not, as it turned out, a good idea.

The PO tourneys are a lot of fun. Knowing now that they are a lot of the same players, I will keep notes.

Thanks, Sam
