I pick up JJ in MP, guy in front of me limps, I limp to, sometimes I do this in case I flop big to have a hidden hand and I hate JJ , it's so vulnerable
It's a helluva lot more vulnerable if you don't raise PF---It sure as hell isn't good enough to slow-play---make it 5 to go ...
so the blinds are in to, flop comes J47 , with 2 spades, SB checks, BB bet 3$, Ep guy calls, and I raise to 12$, and only Ep guy calls
turn is a Q ,he checks I bet 25$ he calls, and the turn is a spade
now he bets 40 into me , anybody makes the call here?
all read here...as played, I guess you have to call (odds)... You must put more pressure on him earlier. If you make it 5 PF, odds are SB and BB fold, he will call...if he bets the flop, you can raise; if he checks, you can BTP (or close) and make a big move on the turn no matter what. We all hate JJ on the bad days buddy, but you absolutely have to raise in this position. The turn was where you had to be putting in the money.
hand 2 I got 55 in MP, UTG makes it 3$, I call and so does BB
flop is 5 K 7, BB checks, UTG bet 5, I just call him, BB folds
turn is 9 , rainbow board, he checks I bet 15 and he calls
the river is a 2 and he bet 25 I raise to 75 and he calls with KK, top set, why he just called I have no idea, but he left me with 35$ , cause we had about 150 when we started. Any reason why I should play this any other way?
I have read this 3 times---"interesting" way to play KK, but you did fine...FWIW, I would have played it the same 99% of the time
hand 3 I am BB with Q2s, 2 limpers I check, flop is 722 , 2 clubs , I bet the pot, and one
guy calls me
turn is a non club 9 , I bet 15 and he calls again
river is a J , still rainbow I bet 20 for value and he raises me to 50, I call and he shows JJ, for the 2 outer
would any of you fold to the river raise? I doubt the fact that he has a better 2 , but it seems like he was on a draw, so I figured he might have a big suited J and maybe not the boat, but I was wrong again
is there anything you might play differently, aside of the JJ limp which in that case might have saved me some change if it was raised?
Every street looked good here...this JJ guy should be on your buddy list...
