JJ UTG
 

Loose 4/8 live game today:

I am dealt JJ UTG. I raise. Four callers, Blinds fold.

Flop: A [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], 2 4's (three suited flop)

I lead out - one caller (loose/passive player).

Turn: 8 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]

I bet. MP player raises. Hero??

If he is passive, you need to fold here. The 8 is quite an innocuous card as it completes no draws and creates no draws. You may be up against A8o or a made straight or another combination of two pair.

You should decide before the turn comes whether or not you want to go to the showdown with this player. loose/passives will normally call you down even with A-weak because you are the pre-flop raiser. a turn raise in my experience indicates two pair or better in these situations.

this is a fold. Here is an intresting link though...that I found intresting when I first came across it:



80/160 hand. Make sure you read the link in there that is posted in the results thread. Good stuff.
