Default Re: 2-4 Party JJ hand

I don't see the point in raising this hand at any point post-flop and raising the turn is particularly bad IMO. At least with a flop raise if villain reraises and leads the turn you can safely fold if you haven't spiked your jack.

Against many players you can safely fold the turn if you haven't improved and villain leads out again. But against a total unknown you think he may be overplaying a hand like AKs or TT. Fine. So call it down. But you will be behind here often and you want the other players between you and villain hanging around for those (many) times that you are, in fact, drawing. There are not many hands you would like them to fold that beat the hand you are trying to make (one example would be QTo) other than ones they simply will not fold (i.e., a [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] flush draw).
