Re: JJ, too timid?

I don't understand the fascination with blasting away at pots nonstop. What was the board here? Like 884 rainbow? Betting huge just means you lose more money. If $3 will pick up the pot when the other guy has no hand, then why bet more? Or, if he'll call $3 with hands you beat... then why bet more? Building big pots out of position on ridiculously dry boards with marginal holdings is just chip spewing.
With that said, betting for information makes no sense if your opponent tells you that you have two outs and you go ahead and put more money in the pot.

Please define marginal holding? Someone opened from MP, and you have JJ? This is marginal? The flop comes down 884, I don't see how you can be so weak tight.

How can this be anything but marginal? What gives action that he beats? His opponent raised preflop in what I assume to be a typical low-stakes full-ring rock garden. I'm not thrilled about unimproved JJ.

I do partially agree that nothing will give him action other than hands that he's losing to, I believe that you're giving too much credit to low stakes ring game players. Additionally, I don't believe that the words 'typical low-stakes' and 'rock garden' are in any way related.
