Ok 4 handed table left of a 6 people League Game. Stacks and positions below

UTG - 7000
Usually loose passive, limps alot and calls nost raises around 2-3xBB


Button (me) - 8200


SB - 12900
Loose but rather aggressive with nearly any two


BB - 1900
Tight passive, aggressive only with very strong starting hands.


Blinds 200/400 at the time

I look down at Jd Jh

The guys know me to be an aggressive player and at the time i probably was the "table captain"

UTG limps for 400, i ask how much BB has behind knowing i want his chips in the middle with this hand and id rather be the raiser he declares 1500 behind with 400 of his stack already in the middle. I raise to 1900.

SB folds.

BB calls for his whole stack,

UTG shoves for 5500 more.

That leaves me with 6100, just 600 if i call and get it wrong. It catches me a little, completely unsure of what my opponent has, he has been know to slw play a big hand but its always been more than a pair, never know him to limp with a big one pre flop before.

Opinions please.

    Hi Don,
    This is where i normally donk off the 5500 lol.
    The reraise, after your enquiry, may be just to get heads up against the BB,  for your reasons.
    If the utg has a monster so be it, but even if the bb has AA and you beat the utg hand you still gain of are no worse off. I still call heyho.

    UTG has to be really really bad to do this with a worse hand
