JJ on itm bubble, utg stack 10bb? what would you do in this situation?

dannystanks · Aug 21, 2023

You have to think about this situation a little before answering because each tournament will be different. I definitely want to be the first one to be able to raise all in with this hand. I don’t really want to face a raise and then a re-raise. If this bubble is life changing money and it’s super important to cash then it’s an easy fold to try and cash. Bubble play can be a lot of fun unless you are short stacked. Good luck!

If you are in a hopeless situation, it is better to take risks and play, and you may win.
But if you are in a comfortable position, the best is not to take risks.

It depends on the tournament, if you're going to win tickets, it's more rewarding for you to give up because those who have more chips than you will pay just to eliminate and enter the prize zone faster. I even folded AA preflop!
Because when I raised a person who had more chips than I did, he went ALL-in, there was one more left to fall and I won the $109 ticket and in the next rounds there were two people with few chips. I preferred to leave than be on the bubble with such a good hand and benefit from those who were practically eliminated!

I would not risk UTG with 10BB at the bubble, except if you know you are the ultra short stack of the tournament

Hi

All-in
Without options and without thinking

RonanPERNA · Aug 21, 2023

If there are more players with less chips than me, I would fold because it's an ITM bubble. But if I was last, I would definitely be all-in. In my case, I don't know if I would be doing the right thing, but that's what I would do.

That's a really, really great question! Honestly, I'm gonna call and lose. I had a similar situation on Saturday in the VIP tournament. I was already in the bubble and I was safely in the prizes. Only I had "QQ" and my opponent had "KK". But I went all-in first, and my opponent easily called me (plus he had a bigger stack than me). It was a shame. Very frustrating! When I replay that moment in my head, I wonder: "could I have just folded QQ?". The answer is, of course not. So yes, I am willing to take a risk on the bubble. Unless it's the Sunday Million, of course.

To be fair if it's a big tournament and it's in the bubble in gonna fold but if it's a normal tournament in gonna go all in and

Fold. One opening from UTG this way it's a indicative of a stronger hand than JJ. Unless the villain is a maniac, a call would put in a bad situation.

martDdart · Aug 21, 2023

bet 3 bb if I am first in,raise allin if anybody raised before me,and call allin if anyone reraises me

bullkk · Aug 21, 2023

And I really like to take risks and would take risks!

We do not play for min cashes in tournaments we play for FT’s. JJ is way to strong a hand to not play but too weak to open raise non-all-in. We are ok winning the blinds on the bubble with this hand

fundiver199 · Aug 23, 2023

Easy jam. With 10BB we generally do not want to play other than push or fold, and JJ is way to strong to fold. In fact any pocket pair is an open jam, or at least something like 55+. If there are a lot of bad or unknown opponents on the table, maybe we can min-raise (or even limp) KK or AA. But JJ is not strong enough, that we want to induce. As eetenor say, we are happy to just take down the blinds and antes.

JetmirDulja · Aug 23, 2023

I would fold…have some patience better hands will come along… you don’t need to bust to a better made hand .. you never know .. better to survive and play an other hand

Comboss599 · Aug 23, 2023

I would probably play it carefully. One - it's bubble, two - i have no luck with JJ.

Gallarado777 · Aug 23, 2023

the right action is all-in, but if you're afraid of flying out, you can open 2 bb and then if you're 3, you can just throw it away or see a flop for 2 bb then decide whether to go ahead so it's easy to choose a game plan, the main thing is to know that you want to get a small amount or play for the final table if you're playing on the final table I would press all-in

recerveau · Aug 23, 2023

That will depend on how the table is. There are many variables.

hardfloor · Aug 23, 2023

Usually it will definitely be a clear allin, I recommend that you play your hands profitably without fear of a bubble, behold, the players are under pressure from the $ at the moment, now if it is a bubble in an atelite tournament, I'll change my opinion with JJ more it will usually be an easy shove.
I indicate that you save your hands too and post for discussion by the HH converter. glglgl https://www.cardschat.com/poker/tools/hand-converter/

Hi
all-in, this is probably the only correct decision. And even if I was not lucky, I would at least know that I did everything right. A fold in such a situation is definitely a mistake.

pep12343 · Sep 1, 2023

It all depends on how much you want the prize, or if you aim for first place regardless of the rest, it's not the best hand, but you could play an all-in and avoid them going with their hands down.
