Bubble JJ hand
I don't like the risk reward ratio of pushing preflop. I probably should have just made a standard raise but I didn't want to have to fold to a push. On the flop I'm not afraid of the 1 queen (continuation bet) until he calls me.

Re: Bubble JJ hand
I like it! There's not really a better way to play it on the flop or preflop, I think.

Re: Bubble JJ hand
have you shut down as soon as he calls the flop? I love the way you played it.. but hate the way he played it if he had you beat.
your pot control check on the turn was the key... no stack commitment and gave you a cheaper showdown if he bet small(ish) on the end. im guessing he had an underpair and you took it down |
Re: Bubble JJ hand
I push preflop, and it's obvious to me. Considering you didn't push preflop, a standard raise might work, but you do have to call a push over the top.

I push preflop, and it's not close. Do you see why? [/ QUOTE ] FYP In all seriousness, I would appreciate some reasoning as to why you want to push a 3600 stack into a 700 pot when my opponent is likely on 77+,KJ+,AT+? I mean sure I win the 700 a lot of the time but a good % of his range will call me and crush me. |
Re: Bubble JJ hand
I don't know. Looking at it, your line might be better than mine... But, it's a pretty big pot you're playing for on the pot. At the very least, you have to call this, so it's going to be a large portion of your stack on the flop.
Also, it's a minraise, so I do suspect Villain to be looser that your range, in general. Still, it's an interesting spot, one I haven't thought about too much... Flop is also interesting. I think Villain has a weak Q a lot of the time here, maybe overs or a draw... Meh... Still, FE is life, and I think I'm looking to take this pot down. |
Re: Bubble JJ hand
I like the line. Especially on the turn to check behind as you have outs to the 2nd nut straight. He gave you the chance to get a cheap showdown, I don't see the harm in taking it. As for what he had I would say either some kind of draw (JT spades, maybe?) or QJ. I think AQ would re-raise you on the flop. I guess it's possible he has KQ, checks the river thinking you have AQ and will bet so he can check-raise. Hell at this level it could have been AK whiffed til the river.
I would think JTs he would want to at least get some guaranteed money in on the river though, so it's probably the least likely. |
