Re: Short and sweet. Do you call?
Why is this such a strange way to play a jack? 1) There's a good change you're going to put him on a flush draw and call with something like AK. I love going all-in with top pair when there's a draw on the board. Most of the time you get a call with as bad as a high ace. Sometimes people in this spot will call your all-in bet when they wouldn't call a $300 bet which would pot commit them anyway. 2) He can take the pot down right now and not have to worry about overcards. I'm sure I've missed something here like usual, but why is all-in with a jack a bad play? Notice that the all-in bet did encourage most of you to call.
