Default Re: tough SB hand with JJ.

So, to apply some advice I've seen here...

First of all, you don't know how the MP plays. Applying some generalities about betting patterns, you're read of the MP's bet is that he wouldn't have just called without, what, AA/KK? Given that any pair is about a 4-1 dog to any higher pair, would you have called this with 22? JJ against KK is not much better than 22 against KK.

You have a hand that you think is way dominated, you aren't getting the odds to call, what's not to fold? Focus on the thought process that got you there, not on what happens later.

Look at it another way...if there was an EP min-raise, folded to you in LP and you folded J4 offsuit, would you be thinking "Damn, I should have called" if the flop came 444?

I hope you made a note on the MP, next time he does that, you can push... [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]
