    Wow lol

    ANY reads would be helpful, has he been open shoving a lot, this the only time ?

    58bbs is a lot at this stage and probz in flip at best, unless of course he's a nutter who could have ATC.

    I prob sigh fold but not sure.

    Of course it is a BH so people play weird sometimes lol but TOTALLY readless I just don't feel happy getting it in here, 20-30bbs defo but almost 60....

    Many I'm sure will come on now say snap call etc but thats just too high variance for me, again maybe I'm wrong in that though process.

    I probably snap it off with JJ. So many bad players do this with small pairs and hands like A9/AT/AJ that they want to play but don't know how to play down the streets with, and JJ plays brilliantly against that sort of range. Sometimes you'll see AK/AQ and be flipping, or an overpair, but I think most of the time we'll be a massive favourite and it's correct to call long term.

    Ask yourself: What hands don't we want to see here - AA/KK/QQ. Anything else we're not too bothered about as we're flipping or ahead. How often do you see people open shove 50bb+ with those hands? Hardly ever.

    I'm snapping that one.  The range is usually 66-JJ and AJ+

    Seems like a good spot for us to take a bounty and have a nice fat stack.

    Out of interest if we do call here how deep do we need to be for it not be a call?

    snap - always a bad hand -

    disclaimer

    doesn't mean they will not hit a Q on the river when they hold the monster that is Q10s
