Default Re: .5/1 JJ Hand for Review

Wow. Don't you hate those short-stacked bastards?

I agree, there wasn't much you could do here. Of course if he had more cash we could think seriously about folding to a turn raise, but as it played out, you're locked in.

Your only escape route is to be incredibly weak-tight and check the turn. Sure, someone holding a 9 will have called that flop and has now hit a straight. But I think the flush draw or a ten are much more likely calling hands and so a check-the-turn line gives up a lot of value.

Well played.
