i would be all in on the flop, as u have put in nearly 1/2 your stack to raise the guy. he may fold with your push- but i do not know what i doing, so could be well wrong

Hi

I personally would have called with jacks and assessed on the flop. He has raised so he has shown some strength. The reraise if that's your choice should be all-in as it gives you greater fold equity, and besides you committed half your stack anyway.

Cheers,

Nick

Hi rjs1986,

I would either raise less preflop and fold to a shove, or call preflop and get it in on this flop.

As played (after raising so big), we have to go all-in. And it's pretty rare we have the best hand here (although this happened to be the case here).

We can also shove directly preflop. But raise/call is not good on the bubble as the second chipleader.
