View Full Version : JJ -- good flop fold, or did I give up too soon?

I'm sorry if this one seems basic, but I'm not doing as well with JJ as I'd like to be. And, yeah, my sample size for that specific hand is too small, which could account for why I'm doing much better with TT-99. Still, it's possible I'm misplaying the hand, and I'd like to check.

Anyway, the table seemed slightly loose and slightly passive, but it wasn't like aggression was non-existent. (The main thing I'd noticed is that people liked to call the flop and turn and then raise on the river.) Perhaps the table just seemed a bit passive compared to a LAG table I had fared very poorly on the night before, in part as a result of my bad play.

So, this afternoon, I resolved to resume playing more sensibly. But did I take this resolution too far?

UTG+1 is the most aggressive player at the table, unless I am. His stats for 60 hands are 35/10/2.3.

MP3 hadn't gotten out of line. (He's 16/10/0.9 for 73 hands.) His preflop cold-call concerned me.

Good fold?

Nice hand.

He isnt betting TT, 9x or KQ anywhere near often enough, unless he is a LAG.

I'd save a lot of bets if I did that more.

Ditto. I like the fold.
