No-Limit. $120 buy in. No rebuys.10 tables
Blinds go up 50% every 30 minutes.We all start with $1000.
This is the first round.Blinds are $15/25.We have only played about 15 hands.I think most of the players are playing too loose.No maniacs so far.I'am dealt J6o in the big blind.The #2 player limps in,the #6 player limps in,and the small blind calls.The flop comes J106 two spades.Of course I like flopping 2 pair,but I dont like the J10 spades there.The small blind bets $25 there is now $125 in the pot.I decide to over bet the pot and try and take it right there,so I bet $200 I now have $750 in chips,to my surprise the #2 player makes it $400,they all fold to me,the #2 player has $1000 in chips left.All I can tell you about this player is that I think he plays too loose but is not overly aggressive.For some reason I think he has a J10 and has a better two pair.Its early in the tournament,I think most of the players are playing too loose,I still have $750 in chips and I think I should either fold or go all-in and elect to fold.I question my decision.I would appreciate it if some of you would tell me how you would have played this hand.

Could be JT alright, that or 66 is also likely. That is if you are beaten. He could also have a Jack with a good kicker or T6.

Would JT have been raised preflop here? I take it #2 player is in EP so maybe not.

I think he wants you to go all in here and you should fold most of the time.
