Default Re: JJ(or TT,99) fundamental question

[ QUOTE ]
"If no one has opened and you are in early position , it is usually best to raise with JJ in a tight game and to just call in a loose game. With two jacks you would prefer to either have no more than one or two opponents in the hope that your hand holds up without improvement, or to have as many opponents as possible when the majority of your profits come from flopping a set. The worst scenario is when exactly three or four opponents see the flop with you. This most likely would occur if you called in a tight game or raised in a loose game."

HEFAP is not really aimed at 1/2 & 2/4 games on Party. In the situation you describe, with 99 and up you will win more than your share - and any time you will win more than your share you should be raising for value.

The beauty of SS (over the target audience for HEFAP) is that when you do flop a set or are winning with an overpair, people are going to give you more money than better players would.
