Default Re: JJ hands - 2 consecutive and 3rd one later

Hand 1:

You dont need to cap preflop. Just call, because you are hoping that your opponent has overcards such as AK, but he might have a higher pocket pair.

Following from the above, you should not have 3-bet the turn. You are just giving away bets to your opponent if he has a higher pair.

Hand 2:

Fold on the river. You had a bad flop and were probably behind when your opponent raised you on the turn. Nonetheless you had some outs to improve to a straight or full house by the river.

Anyway, you didnt improve and you were definitely beat on the river, so fold.

Hand 3:

You dont need to cap with so many players in the hand preflop. Just call when you are reraised with JJ. Your hand is vulnerable to A, K or Q overcards.

The K on the flop was bad for your hand. Your opponent who reraised preflop probably had AA, KK or AK. You are almost definitely beat.

Calling the flop bet to see if you improve was ok, but you should probably have bailed out and folded on the turn. It was just too likely that you were behind here and drawing very slim.
