$50+$5 No Limit Hold'em Tournament - Blinds 3500/7000 ante 700
UTG: 138548 M = 8.25  20bb
Hero (UTG+1): 240462 M = 14.31  34bb
UTG+2: 318266 M = 18.94  45bb
MP1: 135668 M = 8.08  19bb
MP2: 272153 M = 16.20  39bb
CO: 277540 M = 16.52  39bb
BTN: 225182 M = 13.40  32bb
SB: 86489 M = 5.15  12bb
BB: 94536 M = 5.63  13bb
Pre Flop: (pot-16800) Hero is UTG+1 with  jh js
UTG raises to 21000, Hero ?

40 players left , so fairly deep in the cash but by no means life changing..
No reads to go by [just moved to table],so what would be your action and why?

Mikeyboy9361:
UG is 20 BB so not yet on life support, so standard raise from EP you have to put him on PP or Big Ace. Hero is well positioned with 34bb, so does not need to get involved with Js from early position with no reads, we all know how tricky Js can be. Having said that if it was me, then I would probs call! And hope to get it through the remaining players, (though setting myself up for a squeeze). Then if the flop is under cards be prepared to push!
But all in all I think the best option would be to lay "em down, cos if you raised you leave yourself open to a push from UG.
God that sounds muddled, who wants to be in my head this morning! :D
