Default Re: JTs on button, pre-flop?

Hmmm... regarding the preflop raise, I don't know. I think I'd want at least one other limper in there to raise this preflop.

The main problem I see with preflop raising here is that it kinda commits you to pot (at least for a bit). For intance, that's probably why you bet the flop here instead of taking the free card. HOWEVER, these two players are LOOSE (as per their stats) and they aren't likely to fold.

Further, your hand is very susceptible to overcards, and just because these gusy are loose doesn't mean they're not holding a A, K, or Q.

All in all, I don't think there's much difference in EV between limping and raising here.


Given that you raised preflop, I like the flop bet. There's the very slight chance you'll take the pot right there, but more importantly, it'll likely allow you take a valuable free turn card.


Turn call is standard with that many outs.

River is standard.



I think the real question here is whether or not you would call down if a blank fell on the river??
