Message: [QUOTE="canbora, post: 6896558, member: 9538"] So... I've been playing cash games the past couple of weeks, trying to improve. So to cleans the pallet, I go back to my element. MTT PKO's. $15 buy in , Poker Stars Final table: 197 entries, I'm at the final table. There's 5 of us left. I have a handful of bounties, but not many, honestly. As we know, the money is split in half with these tourneys. Half bounty, half placement money. I have 15bb left. Out of the other four players, 3 are passive. Short/shorter stacks. Its late in the game, most raises go folded. There's one player who folds MOST of the time, but if he randomly likes his hand, regardless of how garbage it is ...like J2 offsuit, he'll call a raise. Especially if you give him odds, like he's in the blind or there's a bunch callers ahead. He's the big stack and this is how he's grown it. But calling with garbage and lucking out every single time. I look down and see the most hated hand in poker JJ....the jiggideez. Honestly, I'm happy to steal blinds and antes being almost 3BB at this point, thats life blood. 4 other players, any one of them can have a high card, 5 cards to come on the board. Someone is going to have a better card and beat me, but this is a premium hand, I'm short stacked, IF someone calls, a good chance to double up and cripple someone else and set me up for a higher placement. So, I'm UTG, I just shove. Now.................I figured this was standard and correct as the day is long. I never even questioned it. But I started looking stuff up and from what I've seen this is apparently incorrect?? You're suppose to just raise. It says raise 2x which no one does. Its the norm here is 3x at the table. So, that would leave me with 12 if called, The pot would be 6-8BB. Like.... where are we going with this? I just figured this was standard as the day is long. Its shove or fold. I can't 100% confirm this though. Everything I look up is just in general. can anyone confirm or disprove this? It says if its a less pair like 9's or 10s or 8's you shove. JK suited, AK offsuit. But I'm suppose to just raise 2x with jacks.?? [/QUOTE]
