Raise to 2.5x and fold ?

I'm folding this all day, if it were QQ then we would have to stop and think about it.

I'm 100% sure I had SB beat, but then the BB had to tag along.

Have plenty of chips to wait for another button shove though. This is one of those 11/180s right?

Yeah.

<_< I called.

What they show? Im guessing sb AK and BB a monster

nobody had a monster

SB had AQo
BB had TT

I open shove JJ with less than 15bb in mid-late position, happy to just pick up the blinds & antes with that hand. Obviously std smallball raise is 2.5-3.5x big blind but you don't have enough of a stack to really play 'poker' on the turn & river with those effective stack sizes.
A standard size raise also keeps hands like AQ/AJ/AT/KQ/KJ in the hand which isn't what you want. An open shove makes these hands think a little more, and hey, if someone wants to call a 15bb open shove with a hand like AQ/AJ/AT then good on them, they will lose most of the time. If you happen to run into QQ/KK/AA then its just a mega cooler, but it is only a very limited range of hands that have you crushed. Don't forget your still a favourite against AK & AQ with a pair vs two over cards and against AJ/AT you have them crushed

did u hold?
