LongshanksED:
Online 20euro headhunter. 10 euro is buy in and other 10 is head value. Top ten get paid in the structure (not counting bounty heads if course)

200/400/25 blinds around 20 players left

I"m massive chip lead. 23k and average is only just less than 8k

I"m in bb with JJ

utg open shoves for 7k. Around 18bb!  Comes round to me?  Even with my chip lead I can double him up and still be chip leader if I get unlucky. I put villian in ak/aq or 1010 and under. Looks like a move thats scared to play after flop if he misses with a standard raise and gets a call.

Call or fold with jj for 18bb?



Hand 2

1k/2k/100 blinds. I have 30k and still chip leader buy only by 3 or 4k but average is only 20k. 12 runners left. I"m not interested in the bubble dynamics as such as I have already collected more than double my buy in from heads knocked out and should I lose a few hands I still have some chips.

I"m dealt AK utg +1 and make it 6k. I get a call from the button but sb shoves for 15k

back to me. This player had been shoving very light recently with suited middle connectors or rag aces and was looked up by high pairs and stronger aces but got lucky and hit his under card or hit flush/straight combos

seems a typical squeze play and it"s not the shove I"m worried about it"s the flat call from the button. Should I call/shove to isolate the button out or fold. Should I call and lose i still have around 20k. But the button has a big chip count and should he call and I lose to him then I"m as hood as out with about 5bb left

AMRN:
Hand 1 - snap call
Hand 2 - snap call


given that you have posted these hands, I"m guessing you called and lost in both of them...

Marty719:
Hand 1 - call - ppl shove a ridiculously wide range at this stage and he isnt open-shoving 18x with QQ+

Hand 2 - re-shove - AK favourite to b ahead of a flat from the button, and u want to make it HU against the squeezer!!

JamieCarra:
Hand 1 = instacall
Hand 2 = instashove

ps - raise less in hand 2, slightly under 5k would do the job

AMRN:
should have read hand 2 properly - of course I meant shove and not call
