jj on the button medium scoop
JJ crops up a lot in threads, because their really not that great, when experiencing strong opposition. Miles behind QQ+ & flipping with AQ, AK.

AK o in BB, with a 5:1 Chip advantage (245bb stack) , Early in MTT against Nit.
Ditto. Think your prob a slight dog against his pair, but with his stack its worth flipping.

JJ oop in 3bet pot late in mtt
Its a good example of why JJ-TT are difficult hands. If you repop him pre your likely playing for stacks, not a big fan with JJ. His betting looks pretty strong, on the flop he bets smallish like he wants a call, then he half pots the turn. With no info on him its double difficult, but dont see a better way to play it, cant really find a fold on that board. My guess is TT/QQ+ thats what it feels like, but who knows'

What you doing here?
Looks like theres a good chance, that one of them has hit a set or 2 pair. As heon already said, I think its time to bail out, whether thats too weak, not certain' But my take on it, is that your behind on the flop.

Annoying Hand from $3r
As has been said, your image needs to be factored in. Easy to be critical after the hand, when you know his cards. You had plan, for the right reasons, you just picked the wrong time to play it!

Live tourney satellite SB vs BB
As Tyson says, and you know, it really depends how your situated for qualification. If hes not too aggressive, could be hes not shoving any 2 cards, and if we give him 44+A2s+K2s+Q4s+J7s+T7s+97s+ect your only flippin with 51% equity.

Min Raising
Informative thread, I think theres an element of following the trends, not wishing to be seen as a out of line donk! Suppose its more useful in the higher stakes games, where there is more 3 &4 betting. The down side, is inviting in more callers, when you dont really want any!

Anyone ever folding this river? Ever? Micro cash
My thoughts also, but. Hes betting so strong for a nit on the turn & the river that what else can you put him on' Dont think I can put him on QQ+, AJ or AQ, QJ, 22 or 99, for the reason that hes betting like he has the nuts! Very hard to fold in real time though!

AK in a 3bet pot out of position do I play back here?
My best guess is, he has a smallish pair or Ax. Think Id be cf, the alternative as Ben said is to c bet 250 and see what he does, fold to a raise. If he calls your c bet, and you miss the turn, he bets, bail out.

do i have to call here
Giving any reads you have, will give you more accurate opinions. But if you give adamo 88+AJs+ect & beppie TT+AKs. As you rightly say, this only gives you 20% equity against their 33% & 47%, so its a clear fold.

JJ tough spot thoughts
Fold to his 3 bet on the flop. Hes telling you your behind, whats he going to 3 bet you with, that your beating, AJ+ 77-99 is possible, but for my money its a fold. As played, fold the turn for sure.

should I have easily gotten away from this?
No, I dont think you could have got away from the hand. In hindsight (easy ainit ) theres 2 possible FD out there, maybe make him pay more to see the river say 750. Otherwise all your play makes good sense, just think its one of those hands!

tough spot in 10$ 20k
Its not a ultra terrible call, as it turned out they both had the weaker end of their ranges. Arkan 77+A9s+KTs+ect =22% equity. Andyh TT+AKs=50% equity Having said that, you only have 28% equity against these ranges, so I suppose you could call it not great. I think most of us, overplay AK.

AJ in the sb against the button in the 55
Hes on the button, so Id give him a range of 66+ A5s+ K9s+ Q9s+ J9s+ ATo+ KTs+. AJo is 53% against this range, + you have loads of fold equity, so I have to agree with the majority of posters, who say shove, is the play.

Tough spot deep in the Big 55
Ok, easy to post after result, but reading though the thread, I put him on a very strong hand. You judge him as solid, youve 3bet him from SB, what you dont mention is what your table image is likely to be up to this hand. If you were also playing tight /solid, hes putting you on a pretty strong hand, TT+ AQ+/maybe even JJ+AKo AKs. So to my way of thinking, hes not going to shove all in with this number of chips, unless hes pretty sure he has you beat! AKs V TT+AQs is a 43/57% dog, so I think hed be foolish to be all in with that, although its a possibility. Hence for my money, minimum QQ+, ...

How long did it take you to to get an outright win in an MTT? (over 200 entrants)
I think the bottom line is once you reach a decent standard of play in MTTs you need to also get lucky. Undoubtably the better player you become X the volume you play greatly increases your chances, but you still need to be blessed by the luck fairey! Keep at it OP, and the best of you know what.
