I have a tight image on this table, my opponent raises in lateish position with a wide range of hands based on waht I have observed. I felt I also had enough chips and so did he to fold to a re raise, so I saw it as a 20-25% increase in my stack with not a huge amount of risk despite moving all in. Thoughts Welcome.

the move is inherintly high risk because u have put all your chips in preflop with nothing/

Horibble IMO. Those 600 chips won't mean much in another 20 minutes so why risk you stack here? HUGE risk, tiny reward.

pointless question.

I hate it, because it's just guesswork Poker. Maybe he has a hand, maybe he doesn't, but that's just too much risk for my taste when you aren't that desperate for chips.

Yeah I generally agree with you guys, sometimes this is a good way of building chips, but it would be better to just re riase on a steal more so if everyone is really deep. It was a bad bet and not a great reward either. He called me and had J J and I lost, I thought at the time it wasnt really really bad , but on reflection it truly is.

I don't really hate this move considering your opponent is rather aggressive, he can only really call with JJ-AA or AK, although because of the fact that your opponent is loose/aggressive, he might be calling with hands down to 88+AJs possibly depending on how wild he is.
Clearly it isn't always wrong to make this kind of raise without a hand, I'm not sure how this play compares to a squeeze-play, in my poker lifetime I have never successfully executed a squeeze-raise, yet I have made this kind of raise rather successfully. Although there's the odd time when you get stacked.

Errr I didn't notice that you were the table chipleader before this hand started... I definitely wouldn't make this move unless I was getting desperate, you still have an M of 16~ so no need for this move in this spot.
Err also the 700 chips you stand to pick up here only represents 14% of your stack.

There's no reason to make this move here but if you think he will lay down to a reraise why so much? raising to 1800 here still leaves with with an M over 10 and probably has the same effect.

It was a bad move ginjuice.

i know. that's basically what i was saying. my only point was that if you were itching to reraise, then it should have been for less. i would have laid it down with that chipstack in that situation.
