Since the answers are already in the thread now - it makes more sense if you want to jump in to explain why any of your answers might be different from the ones given. :)

Or to give input to support your decision that someone else may feel differently about.

Maybe edit the opening post to reflect that the answers are already in the thread, and link to them?

Great post c9 - I think you've really tapped into some important ideas around tournament play. The problem of the two jacks (sounds like a Sherlock Holmes tale) emphasises what short stack and bubble play is all about in a STT.

I ran a few similar hands through Pokerstove: KsKc v Ad6d and JsJc v Ad2d. What would the decision be here as to whether we want the villain to fold? In the first we have a much stronger hand than JJ and the second they have a weaker kicker, so is it a closer call? No, in both cases we are worse off because with kings we have fewer straights available and with A2 they have more. We are still in the 67% territory but it is a sobering thought - so next time you all-in steal with A6s and get called by KK think yourself lucky they didn't turn over JJ.
