Re: Qc Jc in big blind
QcJc is the kind of hand that people post here with comments like "was it a bad beat."when you get to be fairly proficient you can believe that you can routinely play this hand but the fact is that you should have folded it preflop to a raise. you do not have a good situation to play a draw since you are OOP and you dont have a chip advantage.
as you say preflop your thought was a good pocket pair or AK or AQ. so why did you call? many players, myself included sometimes, will make a play without thinking at the table and then after the fact justify it or put the player on a hand after the damage is done. sounds like what happened here. to get myself out of this trap i just always take a few seconds to size up the situation before i call in a situation like you describe.
