What are your thoughts?

I think it’s fine to isolating with AKo for 38bb effective here. You need to call a shove of the SB anyway if you only call.

Cheers,

Everything is right what you did. I would have played that hand in exactly the same way.

Hello all,

I agreed (well played), included, because SB Reading [despite is too little sampling].

If your in the SB with JJ do yous think calling is correct here?

Personally I think it is, but you have to fear a bigger pair being a good portion of both players ranges.

Thanks for all the replies and feedback, then I know that I did the right thing there and even if SB would have reshoved I would still have called it. As for the JJ I think it is the right thing to call it.

I think the SB played it fine as well. The UTG player can shove almost any pair profitable and we should isolate him with hands like 99 and TT as well.
