In cash tournaments I really can't remember a time I got called after jamming when a small stack previously 3 bet jammed. There was one time in a day 1C $600 tournament where I raised with 66 and got called and then a smallish stack (like 20 blinds) jammed and I rejammed and got called by JTo. The reason he called though was probably because he basically had like 25 blinds and believed he was getting decent odds. The first jammer had AK so it was kind of a miracle my 66 held.
I think that the important thing here though is that I am not tending to jam with hands that aren't strong like KQ/KJs/QJ/JT/87s/etc. because in the event that somebody has 88-JJ I don't want to be facing a disaster if they call. My jamming range after a short stack jam is probably like AJ+/66+
Thank you, I think it is the microstakes and it being a turbo, something of a feedback loop between wild play (because, hey, it's only a quarter have some fun) and people anticipating that wild play.
So people might be jamming wider because people call wider, or they call wider because people will jam light (and, to be fair, it is very fun to catch a all-in bluff), also just how easy it is to do online and not even think about how a multiway shove pot affects equity.
Happy to hear I'm on the right track!
