3 Table 5+1 -- JJ in the early going

[The Armchair]

Comments welcome on all streets. I think the flop call is right given the other moves as I will take at least one stack if I hit the 22.5:1.

But on the flop you only have T610. So, if you hit your jack and both others call (and you're not beat by some weirdly played AK or KK), you'll make 1725 in profit (780 in pot + 520 from MP1 + 425 from UTG+1). Thus, you're only getting 19.1:1 implied odds in absolutely the most optimistic of scenarios. More likely one of your opponents will fold, thus further cutting down those precious implied odds.

It may look like you're getting outstanding odds, but I'd just let go of JJ here against two 5+1 opponents (I guarantee you you're down to no more than two outs here) and curse my luck at getting that kind of flop with my JJ.

Edited to fix math error (I hope). And also semantic error...obviously the pot will be bigger than 1725, but 520 more of that would come from your stack, or something. I should stop posting when I should be studying, I just can't get my mind right. But anyway, I dislike the call.
