Re: Full HH in a tourney I butchered. Help with minraises?
JJ is only a dangerous hand if you can't let go of it on a flop with overs or to serious aggression, just like AK is a dangerous hand if you can't let go of it when you miss. In fact, Hero limping JJ made the hand a hell of a lot *harder* to play because he couldn't even rule out T8o.
Seriously, if you play AK/JJ *exactly* the same way in level 1 or 2, you're pretty much going to show a big profit on both.
Edit: This very much fits in with the 'must have a plan' post you've just made. I strongly feel that I can win the most while losing the least with this hand by thinning the field to 1-3 callers and proceeding strongly but folding to any aggression. On the other hand, I do *not* have a plan if I limp JJ UTG, 5 others limp after me and the flop comes T83, 2 spades; the hand is simply much better after I've defined what my opponents are likely to have.
