Re: Overcards plus one of your cards is dead
Well, this is one of those situations that's fun to argue about b/c it doesn't really matter lol. First, are the aces and queens totally live? What's the ante in this game? If the aces and queens are live and the ante structure is tight, I'm tempted to fold this OOP against two overcards. This is actually an interesting situation in that I'm more tempted to fold than raise if they will call a completion w/ a wide variety of holdings. That's because I will be in a guessing game firing lots of barrels on later streets. If they will only call (or reraise) with certain types of hands (even w/ loose standards, they wouldnt call with 'anything'), I feel a little better about raising bc I will be able to play better later.
That said, I think against two live overcards OOP with one of your jacks dead, I MAY fold. It depends on the factors listed above as well as how my opponents play later. One overcard, I'm going to definitely raise. With two, I'll see what I feel like doing.
