This is why single pair high hands suck at h/l

[Juskimo]

The guy with the jacks is getting royally screwed here, because his unimproved split pair loses to a ton of hands.

Grin saw it coming and bitched about it afterwards. 1 high pair unimproved hands are death. There are so many combo hands he loses to that he cannot stand the heavy action. if he calls the raise on 6th, I am going to 3 bet and kant will probably cap. He cannot call with just jacks.

Roy was defending his play in some h/u hands with one pair and I was trying to explain that if you make a habit of it, you will get yourself into some situations where you just get screwed on a regular basis.
