I had JJ and was basically chip leader with this other guy, 1 was somewhat short stack and the other guy was very short stack. THe other chip leader pushes all in. Should i have folded pocket J's and waited? Or taken a chance like i did now to try and be massive chip leader so i can go for the win?

Kind of tough to fold JJ with your amount of chips, but the other 2 stacks are so close to dead that it might have been worth folding just because it's so likely one of them is going to bust in the next round or two. If the guy who pushed was playing selectively, I think I would have folded, but if he was being super loose, I probably would have called it... even though a fold was probably the more prudent play. If the other 2 players weren't so close to death, I would call in a second.

The other chip leader has been pushing with quite a few hands (like once every 4 hands or so), so i thought that the all in couldn't be that strong putting him pretty much on any Ax or Kx hands due to the fact he believed everyone would fold and i was playing fairly tight (i folded most of my Sb's).

KK+ for me.

you dont really increase your $ equity all that much by calling here. all you do is hurt yourself.

ps. you should be pushing 70%+ of your SB first in at least. often more towards 100%.

Hero has to be BB here, doesn't he?

Anyway, still a fold I think.

Hi all,

Fold here with JJ. Your chipleader isn't even pushing any two here i imagine.
