Hi,

By sngwizard I can call only with JJ+..do I really need to be so tight in this spot? its not a bubble yet and I'm also covering UTG.

Fold.

You want to avoid coinflip when you are a BS against another BS.
You would be left crippled if you call.

Also you need to play with ranges, default could be JJ+ but if UTG is loose this might become a call.

Call AK+ JJ+ at least..

Imo I'm calling AQ+ 99+.. but my calculations aren't supporting that so I'll forward to the other judges. (actually my calculations indicate 99 to be a terrrrriiible call.. so I'm afraid I have a huge leak here? )

The future situation if we win this hand is just so great.. We'll have huge chip lead.. with the short on our right hand so we can keep the bubble hopefully going for as long as we want to.. and two similar sized stack which will be so risk averse...


yeah you definitely have a leak hlyn. 99 and AQ are snap folds here every time just because of the stack set-up 5 handed.

AK and TT are always VERY close in this spot.

AKs does play a lot better than AKo so that would sway my decision towards call. BUT villain still needs to be pushing quite a wide range to even call that. hands like A8o KJ,66. if villain is on a relatively tight 77+ AT+ range this is always a JJ+ call only
