Default Re: JJ vs undercards

Hi steeser,

I think this is one of those "uggh" hands. You raised pre-flop, and you have an overpair on the flop, so you have to bet it. A pot-sized raise is more than 1/3 of your stack, so you may end up pot-committed, even if you don't push in here. And as another respondent already said, if you bet the pot at this flop, an opponent with 99 is probably going to smooth call, leaving you guessing.

In short, I don't think this is a hand you're going to get away from unless something VERY scary hits at the turn, and more than likely you're going to bust with an overpair vs. a concealed set.

Cris
