JJ is killing me. I'm not really sure what I'm doing wrong, but I'm losing way toooo much money on JJ. Tonight for example I lost 100BB in 4 JJ hands, 0 - 4. I'm guessing JJ has troubled others before...does anyone have any good general advice in terms of positioning and betting PF and on the flop?
Here's a horrible example from tonight:
Party Poker No-Limit Hold'em, $0.50 BB (9 handed)
saw flop|<font color="C00000">saw showdown</font>
BB ($27.25)
UTG ($17.35)
UTG+1 ($17)
MP1 ($22.40)
MP2 ($34.30)
MP3 ($14.85)
<font color="C00000">Hero ($19)</font>
<font color="C00000">Button ($71.20)</font>
SB ($74.25)
Preflop: Hero is CO with J/images/graemlins/diamond.gif, J/images/graemlins/heart.gif.
<font color="666666">4 folds</font>, <font color="CC3333">MP3 raises to $1</font>, Hero calls $1, Button calls $1, <font color="666666">2 folds</font>,
usually i raise here, but i play JJ so horribly i wanted to limp in to see the flop. not good logic i know..
Flop: ($3.75) 5/images/graemlins/club.gif, T/images/graemlins/heart.gif, 9/images/graemlins/heart.gif <font color="blue">(3 players)</font>
MP3 checks, <font color="CC3333">Hero bets $4</font>, Button calls $4, MP3 folds.
Turn: ($11.75) 3/images/graemlins/diamond.gif <font color="blue">(2 players)</font>
<font color="CC3333">Hero bets $14 (All-In)</font>, Button calls $14.
if i'm betting here, i may as well go all i figure...
River: ($39.75) 6/images/graemlins/club.gif <font color="blue">(2 players, 1 all-in)</font>
Final Pot: $39.75
<font color="green">Main Pot: $39.75, between Hero and Button.</font> > <font color="white">Pot won by Hero ($39.75).</font>
Results in white below: <font color="white">
Hero shows Jd Jh (one pair, jacks).
Button doesn't show.
Outcome: Hero wins $39.75. </font>
again, i'm looking more for general advice than critiques on just this hand....thanks
