Re: HU with JJ
Rather than spoonfeed you the right answer, I'm going to make you work it out for yourself. Hopefully you won't mind too much.
1. What range of hands do you put villain on when he raises preflop?
2. What portion of those hands are you ahead of with your JJ?
3. What range of hands do you now think villain has when he just calls your raise instead of capping (or folding, I suppose)?
4. What fraction of those hands are you beating on that flop?
5. What fraction of those hands are you beating given that he's enthusiastic enough about his hand to bet?
6. What are your odds on drawing out?
7. What are the pot odds on drawing down?
8. How do the combined odds of drawing out plus the chance you're ahead compare with the pot odds of calling down?
9. Are there any other factors you should consider? How much are they worth in terms of EV?
Yeah, it's not what you're looking for, but you have to be able to do this sort of analysis at the table in real time if you're going to be a successful limit player. Hopefully you don't mind too much, and don't hesitate to get the answers to any of those questions wrong. That's where the learning comes.
