  1. Villian is playing his first hand at my table, so I have no idea what he is capable of. There are 36 left and 24 get paid. At that time I was about 10-13th in chips. I had been playing super aggressive at this table as I was trying to load up for the final table.

    Let me hear what you think...
  2. Hard to say, the reraise could be a big pair or it could be something like AK. Often, AK isn't bailing here, feeling they have outs.

    But, I think you have to decide here what you want to do. I really sort of hate the check here, I think you open push or check/fold here, you really don't want to go against AK here to the river with all the potential outs they have. Also, sometimes you get lucky and someone is too smart for their own good and might make a hero laydown with JJ. Your going broke anyway, might as well give yourself a chance here.
