Live $6-12 game with a full kill. It's a kill pot and I am in MP with the killer to my right. Most players are weak/passive, most will call a raise preflop with your average Ace hand or any face card with a 9 or T.
UTG raises (better player, med. tight/agg.) and I reraise to $24 with AA. Everybody folds to the Killer who calls, then the raiser who calls.
Flop comes A J J
Check, check, I bet - called by the better player and the killer folds.
Turn Q - check, I bet - call.
River J - check, I bet - call. Caller shows pocket Tens, I drag a medium pot.............
Question is, should I have just called the $12 preflop hoping to reraise? I'd have never asked, but player to my left had JTs and would have called $12, but not $24.........so I played the way I usually do - but its also a Jackpot game - $15k and I lose $7500 by not letting him get in there and make quads.
Does anybody play this any different with the Jackpot?
I know this seems simple to many of you, but I don't usually play games with a kill.
Thanks, AL
