JJ, mid-tourney, reraised allin twice

[mattaca]

Just wondering what your thoughts are on this one. No real reads except that Offspring seems pretty solid.

Against two calls? Live to fight another day... Much less than 50% to win with two callers with overcards, and there's a good chance you're up against QQ - AA.

Even though you're stack is dwindling, I don't think I can put my money here, though I'm sure others will feel otherwise.

Insta-fold. Against two players, you are most likely way behind. HU vs. either of them, I'd consider calling, your stack and the blind being what they are.

Not sure I like raising ~1/3 of your stack in the first place, but now you have to fold.

*edit: Although if you read them for overcards/underpairs, then you must call.

You don't have a lot of chips to play with. I would make the call instead of waiting for the blinds to eat up my stack. You might be up against AK & AQ here so I don't see how you can lay this down.

Pot odds also say you should call

Open push next time.

Again, another hand to try and spark some interest in this section.

With this one I felt a 4x raise would be strong enough to take it down if no one had a hand but and would let me re-evaluate depending on their play/ seeing the flop. An open push isn't really doing anything more than my raise if one of them has a big hand. I know a fold would leave me short-stacked but thats better than not being in it at all.

FWIW when the first guy pushed I was ready to make the call but the second allin scared me enough to fold it. I honestly just couldn't find a situation where I was ahead as these two were both putting their tourney lives (or close to it) on the line when it would be unecessary to do so. Anyway, first allin raise shows KJo and the second AKo. My JJ would have held up.

I still think I play that differently becuase I don't like putting chips in "hoping and praying" that I have the best hand and without solid reads on either of these guys, thats what I would have been doing.

[ugignadl]

Sure, against overcards like (AK, AK) or (AK, AQ) you have craploads of equity, so a call is instant. Against even one overpair you are a massive dog, whereas if they have one underpair or a dominated hand then you are good again.

I would play it as an open push, which could be read as a steal and one you want people to call.
