Misplayed JTs
I'll learn this game eventually, but not on this hand, it seems.
Calling the flop was probably my worst option, right? Is TPGK worth raising or should I just get out? Party Poker No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t15 (10 handed) converter saw flop MP3 (t770) Hero (t820) Button (t890) SB (t705) BB (t800) UTG (t800) UTG+1 (t755) UTG+2 (t800) MP1 (t830) MP2 (t830) Preflop: Hero is CO with T[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], J[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]. <font color="#666666">3 folds</font>, MP1 calls t15, <font color="#666666">2 folds</font>, Hero calls t15, <font color="#666666">2 folds</font>, BB checks. Flop: (t50) 2[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], 7[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], T[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(3 players)</font> BB checks, <font color="#CC3333">MP1 bets t15</font>, Hero calls t15, BB calls t15. |

Re: Misplayed JTs
Bump because I'm interested.
With a bigger kicker, I've been making pot sized raises with hands like this. a) i'm not sure if that's right. b) i'm not sure how to play this one. |

Re: Misplayed JTs
Some will argue, due to the small stacks, this hand should be folded preflop. I'd still call.
I think a flop call is fine. Folding is not bad. Raising is bad. Fold to a bigger bet on the turn if you don't improve, check if checked to. |

Re: Misplayed JTs
I honestly don't think this play is that bad.
I like calling this flop and seeing what happens on the turn. Might pick yourself up a draw. -Jman28 |

Re: Misplayed JTs
Oh wait, for some reason I thought you were SB. I fold this preflop.

Re: Misplayed JTs
Okay, is this one of those situations where I'm leaking chips?
My thinking on this kind of flop is, there's a good chance I have the best hand right now, but I could be beat now or on 4th or 5th street. So I want to define my hand, and make someone drawing to a bigger hand than mine pay incorrectly to see more cards. MP1's bet is probably weak (I play 22s and 33s), not tricky, though of course a set or big pair is possible (though wierdly played big pair). I'd raise to say 65. I'd expect to take the pot a good percentage of the time. If I'm called, maybe I pick up some good draws on the turn (8c, 9c, maybe any J). If I don't I'm hoping to check behind, or fold to a strong bet on the turn. On the flop I'd fold to a reraise. Am I a weak LAG? |

Re: Misplayed JTs
Raise the flop. You have position and likely the best hand. Any A, K, Q or diamond is scary, so go ahead and take the pot now.
If someone calls, bet again on the turn. Check behind on river. Fold if they play back at you. |
