Hmm, interesting hand actually. Let's look at the facts. 1. This is a turbo 3. You have an M of 3.5, but will be blinded out if you fold. 5. Pushbot charts show this as being ev+ for an M of 8.5 or lower in your position.
Furthermore, utg is the new "btn". If you want to fold your way a place or two higher fine. Sit out the rest of the game.
If you are playing to win, then shoving here is correct 100% of the time. Bad luck that the one guy who can afford to call you woke up with a real hand. Classic right move, wrong result MrSmith!
On a good day I'm shoving atc rather than blinding out. Although, I think the clue to being profitable in these is to have shoved before getting so low in the first place. Especially on the short handed table before making the ft :)

Tx Roland, I appreciate your analysis, it helps boost my confidence when I'm unsure.
ReplyDeleteCompletely agree. I'd shove with jacks too. :)
