JJ in the Blinds
Scenario:
This was the second hand at a brand new $4-$8 table at the local card room. I didn't know any of the other players involved in the hand. I'm in the Big Blind and am dealt J [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] J [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img].
PreFlop: 2 middle players limp in, the small blind folds, I raise from the big blind, both other players call. 3 to the flop.
Flop: A [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] A [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] 2 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]
I bet. MP1 folds. MP2 raises. I call.
Heads-up to the turn
Turn: K [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]
I check. He bets, I call.
Heads-up to the river.
River: 8 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]
I check. He bets, I call.
Questions:
1) Should I have let this go at some point? If so at the flop or turn?
2) Should I have made a stronger play at this pot? Reraise the flop? Check-raise or bet the turn or river?
3) I hate check-calling the turn and river (too tight passive) but it felt right here. In general when do you like to check call a hand down (not a typical 2+2 play)?
Results are irrelevant but I will post them on request.
