Again, though, you're telling her to go back in time and do something different, which isn't an option for us non-TimeLord users of the forum. You might as well say "Get some good cards!" or "Play better!" for all the use your advice is to Judi in the situation she's in. And as Tom points out, you might not have the choice to make a move on 8bbs anyway - you might have had 40bbs and lost 34 of them in a single pot to some horrible suckout. What then?

So given for the sake of argument that we're IN that situation and it's too late to do anything about it, the core question, I guess, is this: is it better to be all-in with 94o and 6bbs, or KK and 2bbs? Or as Judi put it herself,

Quote:
At what point do you call a raise with any two cards? Or do you just keep waiting on the basis that doubling up with 2 or 3 BBs on an open raise is better than just chucking your chips in when you probably have no chance?
Personally I'll take the KK-with-2bbs option every time, partly because you'll probably have several people in the pot (since you're not going to make anyone fold) and if you win you'll probably get at least a quadruple-up back to a reasonably playable stack.
