Dealt to Hero J K

fold, fold, fold, fold, fold, fold, BTN raises to $2,100, fold, Hero ???

I am a cash player so dont know if this is basic stuff, but it's std to shove here?
I was thinking about shoving almost A2s+, A6o, K8s+, KT+, QJ+, 66+ or something, is this an ok range to shove here? Or am I just being weird about this because I dont know that much about mtt

Or is this an ok range to most btn openers? Having said he isnt super tight or something.

extra note the sb was very tight in this hand (8/6 over 100 hands)

i don't think he r/f so much with his stack, btw your jam is profitable

I'd feel fine jamming or calling
10-18-2010 , 01:19 PM
I'd shove

Yeah I honestly don't think there's a huge difference.

id feel finer jamming than calling but i doubt the latter would be a significantly worse decision

I think shoving is much better here given the loose BTN/tight SB dynamic. Calling is ok I guess since its a pretty easy hand to play post at this stack depth.

I would base my decision to jam or call on any history I had on villain. As in, if I thought I knew how he would play post-flop I'd be more likely to flat and play poker. As long as you don't fold it's all good though...
