JJ with 2 Overcards
 

No other reads except that UTG has been playing loose and has been losing several showdowns.

The two overcards scared me in this situation.

Was your bet button broken?

Don't slowplay. You can't go all-in in limit. When are you gonna make your money? And don't give free cards.

No comprendo.

Horrible. Bet the flop. No reason to slowplay. There are draws out there and you need them to call. If you get raised, all the better, you can 3-bet. Again, bet the damn turn. You are last to act, and have the best hand over 80% of the time. Given that you played so damn passive, you induced extra action on the river. Cap it up! You have them crushed almost always. TQ, KK, AA have you beat, that is it. I doubt anyone has those.

those overcards are only dangerous if someone has a miracle KK or AA and plays like a total idiot.

You're scared of those? There's absolutely no reason to be scared. Bet the crap out of this hand. Maybe they can scare you if you didn't hit the set of jacks, but it's tough for me to put your opponents on a hand that beats you. Go nuts.

People at this level will find any reason to come along. FWIW- this title is misleading- most people will assume you have JJ on a board of something like 257AK, not that you have 3 jacks.

What are you doing?!?!? bet the flop, bet the turn, cap the river.
