I was playing a live 1-2 NL (100 max buy) game the other night. I was up to about $320 and got dealt J10 of diamonds one position off the button in a 9 handed game.
One of the deeper stacks (about $400) raised it to $10 (a standard raise at this table) from 2nd position. Folded to me where I called. Folded to the big blind who reraised to $35. The big blind had about $300 behind.
Called by the original raiser and back to me.
So my choice is call or fold. How do you all view J10 suited in this sort of situation?
Pros of calling:
- I've got position
- I'm up against bigger stacks who will pay off larger bets.
- I'm getting subsidized by 2 other players
Cons of calling:
- I've almost definitely got the worst hand of the 3 of us preflop.
- I'd need to invest than 10% of my stack.
- As a drawing hand, I'll often hit 4 to the straight or flush and with a $100 pot I'll have to pay an expensive price to see the turn.
- Small chance I'm dominated by JJ.
If I had a big or small pair or AK, I'd know what to do here. Appreciate your thoughts on this decision.
