Re: JJ out of position
 

I think that is a pretty good flop for JJ. And I also think you have position, as you are last to act. That is a pretty weak bet by the BB. I think you should raise it up to about $15 and take down the pot. If you get called then you can worry about 2 pair or a set.

SORRY NOT OUT OF POSTION *NM*

He stated after the hand he had K9. Dont know whether to believe him but i still think the fold was right.
