Default Re: Another bad play....how do you play it.

You said it yourself - you are too weak tight. Fold 99 pf? Are you insane? If you want to call and play for set value, fine, play it safe (personally, I raise, but that's just me).

Learn how to get away from your hands. If the flop comes KQJ, then you have an easy decision. But if it comes AK9, chances are you are going to be kicking yourself for making a bad call. It's almost always worth playing for sets because of the enormous implied odds (within reason, I'm not saying call all-in with 22 [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img])

Insanely weak-tight. And your example shows nothing. Bet harder with JJ. That's why you lost the hand. Bump it up to 100.

Zebra, your play was fine here. Pushes on the flop with sets are standard, but you played it pretty well.
