A quick NL Hand

Postby legendary loser » Sat Jan 22, 2005 8:00 am

this is at a $50 NL Party table and I have a $70 stack. The player involved is the Small blind. He has me covered and he has been play aggressive. He is loose, but knows what he is doing. He has shown some big bluffs when the board pairs on the river, but also been picked off bluffing. Something to note...The villian in this hand had just been called down on a bluff after he missed with his AK. So he just lost $40.

I am dealt JJ UTG and I limp. There are about 3 more limpers and its back to the villian in the SB. He raises to $15! This is an abnormally huge raise. What do you do here?

Call?
Fold?
Raise?

Thanks

I'd be more tempted to call if you were closing the betting. here, I think if he's tilting you'll find a better spot to take him out. There's always a chance he might be betting a higher pair aggressively in a fit of pique, and there's always a chance someone sitting downwind of you has a hand. I reckon you should probably err on the side of caution and fold, though there's a good chance he doesnt have much.

I lost a big pot last night and was down to $40 on a $200 table. The very next hand (before I could reload) I got AA. I went all in for $40. I wasnt tilting but wanted to make it look like I was.

I would fold the jacks and wait him out. Someone else might call behind you because they think hes tilting also and when an overcard flops which I believe happens 57% of the time with jacks, you have problems out of position.

Sometimes I see people raise an abnormally large amount with low-medium pocket pairs because they don't want to see a flop. If you think he has something like A-K, A-Q, or a lower pair I'd come back over the top. If you call and flop an overpair and figure you are going to get all your money in anyways I think you should move over the top as well. Otherwise muck it.
