What do you do?

[AceLosesKing]

FT of a 20m sng on 888. Final 9, top 5 cash.

Blinds 100/200, I have 2.7k. The average is 3k.

UTG+1 jams all in for 1800. This is the first hand I've seen him play. Folds to a player in MP, who snaps all in for 880. MP player has also been folding down (waiting for a hand). Folds to me in the SB, I have Jacks.

with no reads, i think its an easy fold

highly likely u are up against an overpair, or that all overcards are covered by them

[bennymacca]

let me qualify that by saying its an easy fold looking at it now, not in the heat of the situation

[Brett Kay]

fold.

Better spots to get your money in. Also if 1800 all in, knocks out shorty. At least you still have more chips

Yep, I folded JJ tonight on the same table as Brett, although the allin had me covered...
I don;t know if people beleived me when I said I folded JJ but for those who saw the hand, here's proof:

Notwithstanding me editing the handhistory, but I wouldnt lie here...

Personally I think AJ is marginal to 2 rtaises in front, but she short-stacked so understandable play.

when raising you always should have a reason.

Sometimes, my 'bet amount' textbox wont accept input, and I didnt want to just flat call here, so I either had to flat call, minraise or allin to beat the clock. I wanted to reraise to get HU with initial raiser. I wouldnt push with JJ and the M I had, unless there were only 2 left live in the hand and I thought opponent would fold. Didnt really expect the BB to call or push over the top with the action before them (even with the SS).
Also, while I dont like minraises when u are the first raiser, I dont think they so bad for a reraise.

Well done Kodakai! U took me out with my pocket 3s on the SS, glad you made good use of my chips!

[bennymacca]

i just think in that case, a min raise just invites a shove over the top by the out of position player. lets say i had a decent but good hand, like AQ, 1010, 99, even AJ.

i would be opening with most of these hands.

with your min raise, there is no way in hell i am flat calling out of position with these sorts of hands. i am either shoving or i am folding.

so really, you are losing value from hands that you beat - either they shove and u have to fold, or they fold anyway. i would suspect that most hands that flat call here are beating you.

so i would either make a bigger raise or flat call and re-evaluate the flop in position
