Villain only has 1 entry and is 1 tabling (its a 3 entry tournament)

Converter doesn't work with Full Tilt I guess

5ppl fold, 120 from CO (3x), folds, I call in BB w Th8h

Flop J66 hh (260 pot)

x, 180, call

turn Tc (620 pot)

x, 480, call

river 8d (1580 pot)

x, 520, shove for 2365 total

Not a fan. Seems like the range of hands that beat you that will also fold to a shove is too small, possibly even nonexistent. I also don't think his small sizing is a guaranteed weakness tell, there are people who will do that with monsters because they correctly realize you aren't going to call a big bet.

I don't like it because:

– Due to your description villain looks more fishy than reggy and a fish don't fold J2 here

– He x3 preflop so his range looks a bit stronger

– You don't have a lot of 6 in your defending range so your value range is really thin (TT, Q9hh, 97hh and maybe TJ, AJ, J8s if you raise that river)

– You don't have a lot of FE against his value range, because of paired board he is never fold QQ+ and probably not a good J so I think the better play is to fold (you can call if you think he is capable of bluffing with this sizing but I don't think)

I like it for one reason, it's because of his small bet that looks like a block bet with something like QJ but he could be inducing or realise that his sizing is inducing and finally decide to call with his hand.
