Honeybadg:
Here is a hand I played last year.

I am in the Big Blind with  qc jc

** Dealing down cards **

tavira raises to [2,400]
PooL folds
Doobs calls [2,400]
BLONDE78 folds
KidYouNot folds
Honeybadg calls [1,600]

** Dealing Flop ** [ Qd, Jh, 8h ]

Honeybadg checks
tavira goes all-in
tavira bets [14,303]
Doobs raises to [28,606]

I have no info on Tavira.
Doobs is a very consistent winner on Betfair - liable to be aggressive late stages of tournaments.

Should I call?

What do my opponents hold?

deanp27:
in a satellite this is a fold with all that action.

hi_am_chris:
even when theres only two packages available? im not saying its not a fold but this isnt a satelite where you can just fold into one of the ten seats, you almost have to be playing for the win.

deanp27:
i probably call the first shove but if player 2 is as competent as stated then what realistically do we want to see?

i get the point about not being near the bubble but this is too marginal a spot in a big satellite for my liking. I accept that if we win this the chances of us winning are pretty big though.

AMRN:
Fold in this spot.

I don"t always fold qc jc though (just ask Ger)
