Hero ???


This isn't a very interesting situation but it is a time where I think the better of tournament players know what to do.
My first instinct was to fold, since even if i hit my set, the implied odds of a big pay off weren't there.
Then I thought, but if the flop comes all cards under a J, maybe I can check-call against two overs.


Thoughts?

As the cheap leader, why did we limp PF with 33? As it is, either which way, I probably push here. If we call, we're going to fold to a KJ5 board when the shortstack pushes his AQ after the flop, so may as well maximize our chances to win this point by pushing. He probably won't fold (though you never know), but hopefully we'll just flip for it with him.

That said, I probably open to 300 or 400 to start with here, so there we're priced in to calling his push.

Yeah you really can't call his raise here. If you assume to overs and are going to shove on a jack high board, you need to shove now and hope he doesn't have a pair. I REALLY don't like his raise here. He's putting in 1/3 of his stack pre-flop to make the standard raise. To me it smells like he wants action or else he would've shoved. I'd lean towards folding here. I don't really care for the limp here either, btw.
