Very loose and aggressive table with most players stack 300bb+
I pick up JJ in the cut off just sat down(100bb). UTG is a younger Asian dude who likes to play aggressive and is 1k deep, decides to open for $15, EP1 calls, EP2 calls, EP3 calls, EP4 calls, and an older dude on my right calls so now the pot is $85. I decide to shove pre flop and go all in for $200.. the Asian guy thinks for about 10 - 15 secs and then calls. Everyone else folds. He ended up calling with 88’s and spiking an 8 on the flop. My question is what should my optimal raise sizing be here with JJ’s after that many callers? I could’ve raised to about $75 and played it more cautiously. What do you guys think

Thanks a lot.

I think you played it fine. Also there would $93 in the pot according to your recollection of the action. You either scoop nearly 50 bigs uncontested, get stacked by initial raiser when he had QQ+, or you GII a massive favorite (like you did). Pretty straight forward hand IMO

You shoved and got a dominated hand to call of for your entire stack. Seems 100% optimal. Gg wp

Agree with both commentors thus far. You got it in good, lost a cooler. Ask yourself, if the flop were 3, 5, 8 rainbow, and the guy shoves, are you ever folding?
You played it perfect.

You played it perfect. You just have to deal with getting unlucky sometimes. You got it in as 4-1 favorite for 200 bb between you two + 37bb overlay haha!. Nothing more you can do than just ¯\_(ツ)_/¯and move on to the next hand.
