My friend pushed all in... it was for about half of the chips I had left, or it would be about even in chips if I lost (ont sure exactly). But I called anyway. Turned out he had AQ offsuit, figured I'd end up losing.
Luckily, a J and a T came on the flop, and nothing else of note after that. I really shouldn't have made that call, but I didn't think he had much at the time, or at least a medium pair. Turns out I was wrong  But very lucky in the end. |
So it was down to heads up, with 3k/6k blinds? So you, the chip leader, had less than 10x the BB, and your opponent less than 5x the BB? I would push many many hands in this situation and call a push with nearly as many. JTo is an easy call in this situation. With blinds so high, the outcome is a crap shoot and JTo is definitely a playable hand. You can't put your opponent on a hand that is definitely more than a 60/40 favorite in this situation, and various factors compel a call with JTo in this situation.
