Re: JJ on button level 2 party 22
 

I am not re-raising with JJ here, probabally wouldnt even re-raise with QQ, not sure.

But in this situation I think you can get away with a bet of about 130 or so...maybe? I dont know, I usually dont know exactly what to do post flop at the early levels...

I hope it turned out alright...

Re: JJ on button level 2 party 22
 

I usually call preflop here. Given that you raised, you have more folding equity, so I think bet about 125 on the flop. If I'm called, I'm trying to get to a showdown cheaply, and laying down to any aggression.

EZEddie111 wins 1375 chips from the main pot with two pairs, queens and tens.

Preflop, ya I think you're right. I should have just called. I was happy to get a hand and got wreckless.

Postflop, I knew I misplayed this, but I wasn't sure if checking, betting less or going all in would have been better than what happened.

A smaller bet like you suggest seems like the best way to go because I would have got the information I needed and could been able to fold instead of being pot committed.

Thanks for the input.
