I've been running bad (at least in my own mind and according to PokerTracker) and two hands from last night, both involving pocket jacks, I think typify my play. I'm seeing monsters/ghosts/dead people everywhere I look. What's the correct way to play these? [img]/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img]
Hand 1:
UTG had a VPIP of 25% and a PFR of 8% over 24 hands. SB had a VPIP of 22% and a PFR of 11% over 18 hands.
