How's my line? Im trying not to be results oriented but:

Normally I'm pushing every time here; however, UTG is a solid player and his limp concerned me, and button loves any two face cards. My plan was to push a non ace/king flop

Am I being weak/tight here?

Seat 1: HERO [ JD, JS ] ($2,030 in chips)
Seat 5: SBPocketAces ($1,812 in chips)
Seat 8: VBTHUR1 ($7,985 in chips)
Seat 9: kukleklu ($3,173 in chips)



ANTES/BLINDS
SBPocketAces posts blind ($200), VBTHUR1 posts blind ($400).

PRE-FLOP
kukleklu calls $400, HERO calls $400 , SBPocketAces calls $200, VBTHUR1 checks.

FLOP
SBPocketAces checks, VBTHUR1 checks, kukleklu checks, [b]HERO checks .

TURN
SBPocketAces bets $800, VBTHUR1 calls $800, kukleklu bets $2,773 and is all-in, [b]HERO folds , SBPocketAces calls $612 and is all-in, VBTHUR1 calls $1,973.

RIVER [board cards 7S,AH,9D,6D,AD ]

Thanks,

HC

How about if a Queen flops?

Don't be silly. You have 5 BB left and have the 4th best hand preflop. Push.

I think you have to push preflop. Some of the reason he may only be limping is because there are 2 shorter stacks than him, and he fears being busted by the BB. He doesnt have to have a huge hand IMO. Don't let random reads of $22 opponents influence you this much.

I know you're afraid of bubbling out...but there are LOTS of other ways too. Devaluing and trashing your strong hands is just of them, for instance, I prefer getting caught pushing with 75d...but thats just me.

Umm... You have JJ. JJ is very, very good. JJ is good enough to push here. Push JJ and be happy.

He is limping because he knows you are scared. People limp cos they can get away with it.

If he had aces he'd still make a minimum raise.

Letting everyone in with JJ is a poor play.

Push preflop. This is simple. If he slowplayed a monster then ohwell, but if he's solid he isnt limping with aces or kings here. Push is the only play.
