Hi all,
Went on quite a run last couple of days, and wanted to run some of my all-ins past you...
Hand One:
Party Poker No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t50 (7 handed)
saw flop|<font color="C00000">saw showdown</font>
<font color="C00000">SB (t1055)</font>
<font color="C00000">Hero (t1150)</font>
UTG (t1565)
MP1 (t1170)
MP2 (t1265)
CO (t675)
Button (t1120)
Preflop: Hero is BB with J/images/graemlins/spade.gif, J/images/graemlins/club.gif.
UTG calls t50, <font color="666666">4 folds</font>, SB completes, Hero checks,
Flop: (t150) 7/images/graemlins/club.gif, 2/images/graemlins/heart.gif, 9/images/graemlins/heart.gif <font color="blue">(3 players)</font>
<font color="CC3333">SB bets t100</font>, <font color="CC3333">Hero raises to t300</font>, UTG folds, SB calls t200.
Turn: (t750) 5/images/graemlins/heart.gif <font color="blue">(2 players)</font>
SB checks, <font color="CC3333">Hero bets t800 (All-In)</font>, SB calls t705 (All-In).
River: (t2255) 6/images/graemlins/club.gif <font color="blue">(2 players, 2 all-in)</font>
Final Pot: t2255
<font color="green">Main Pot: t2160 (t2160), between SB and Hero.</font>
<font color="brown"> This raises a more general question of how to play JJ from the big blind. I was reluctant to raise simply because I'm more likely to get calls from limpers, and any overcards are trouble. Is this a mistake? </font>
Hand Two:
Party Poker No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t30 (8 handed)
saw flop|<font color="C00000">saw showdown</font>
<font color="C00000">UTG (t1135)</font>

UTG calls t30, UTG+1 calls t30, <font color="CC3333">Hero raises to t90</font>, <font color="666666">4 folds</font>, BB calls t60, UTG calls t60, UTG+1 calls t60.

Turn: (t1585) 4/images/graemlins/club.gif <font color="blue">(2 players, 1 all-in)</font>
River: (t1585) J/images/graemlins/diamond.gif <font color="blue">(2 players, 1 all-in)</font>
Final Pot: t1585
<font color="green">Main Pot: t1585 (t1585), between UTG and Hero.</font>
<font color="brown">The min bet made me think he had a weak king or was on a str8 or flush draw, so it seemed like a good idea to shut things down sooner rather than later. </font>
