    Approaching the bubble of the 33 5k guarentee on stars I have about 13k and blinds are 300/600. Folds to me OTB and I make it 1600 with AsJx and only the bb calls. The board come Js10s6s. The bb leads out 1500 and I make it 4500 and he shoves. Do I have to stack off here with TPTK and NFD? He has me covered by about 3k and I have a very aggressive table image. Seems to me that he reraises JJ and TT preflop and obv any overpair. So I'm really only worried about JT 66 and a flush, and maybe even KQ with a spade as well. Just curious how others would play the hand.

    as played, I call here 100%. You might wanna try making your preflop raise a bit more though, this is actually under a standard raise and will invite many many more hands to call against your very beatable AJ. GL!

    well with my style of play that raise works fine for me. I try to play postflop when I can and normally if theyre ganna fold for 3.5 they will fold for 2.5. That is at least what I have noticed. But your advice is noted, thanks

    I probably call here almost every time. You are in the blinds, which is generally a little friskier anyways. He could be calling your raise with a wide range (assuming no read). On the flop, you are drawing to the nuts and already have TPTK, which is a pretty damn good made hand already. He leads out with a weakish bet, you re-raise. His push after the weak bet to me screams strength, but I could see him making this play with QJ or KJ with a flush draw, a straight draw, or two pair. Then there is the set which has you in trouble, but not dead. I really can't see a call with JJ or TT unless the player is extremely weak-tight, especially given your aggressive image. I would even re-pop with 66 if I were him.

    Either way, you flopped strong against one player in the blinds on the bubble. If he has a set and you don't connect curse the poker gods and move on.
