Oh yea I am talking in regards to NL play, sorry.

Yeah, that changes things considerably. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] I don't give too much NL advice on the Beginner's Forum because I don't have that much experience at it, but I'll try . . . I just have a much higher than usual chance of being totally wrong.

So with that disclaimer, a pair of jacks is not the hand you're looking to make with JT in a no limit game. If the UTG bettor isn't a LAG, I would probably be inclined to fold if I wasn't getting oods to draw to one of my 3 tens and even then I could easily lose or get forced out on the turn so I'm probably mucking this hand as a general rule barring further details. Your idea of raising for information is sound in theory, but the information you gain may not be worth the price of the raise considering you'll have learned basically nothing if your opponent takes his most likely course of action and just calls then checks to you on the turn.
