2/5/UTG straddles 10.
Game is playing pretty loose passive pre and loose Agg post.

The whole table is very deep maybe 1K+ for most with a couple stacks of 9K and 3K/4K.
Hero took sum beats and is at 300.
UTG LAG opens to 25. UTG+1 calls. BUT calls. SB calls.
Hero BB JTcc how does the squeeze look?

Assuming you meant UTG +1 since UTG was straddle.

Dont like jamming over UTG+1 with such a weak holding. Probably just calling and hoping to flop a combo draw.

Even lag players understand positional weakness. UTG+1 probably has a strong enough hand to call 60bbs(30bb effective) and make a trivial isolation vs capped ranges behind for the dead money in the middle as a bonus.

Yes well I would like to squeeze TT+/AK and I would like sum bluffs to sprinkle in

You can't bluff for 30bb effective though. That's the problem with being short.

No one is folding anything here, there's already over a 100 in the middle. They have to call 275 to win like 700.


I'd like this more if you were at 500. or 50bb effective.

They are never folding, so just wait for TT plus. (Unless you want to flat-out gamble, and then it's fine.)

Snap fold with J-high for 60 bbs. Need big cards to block, and ofc the premium prs.

Can you top-off? If not, rack up for the session as it will be tough to navigate this table dynamic.

I think the question should be more about bankroll than what to do with JTs pre.

Is this a $1K buy in game?

Everyone takes "beats". but if you dont have enough of a bankroll to reload you should be playing in a smaller game. This is why adequate bankrolls are needed to be successful in poker.
