Re: Playing Pocket JJs and TTs
[ QUOTE ]
I didn't want to get too specific because obviously there are times it's a clear re-raise and other times it's a clear fold.
In general though, when I don't have a good read I've been mucking it and I'm wondering if that's right.

Mucking it is fine if the pot will probably be 3-way and the other guys are know to be passive or rockish.
Against unknowns and if I'm playing tables that tend to be aggro I'm usually capping here and expecting to take the pot down if no A hits the flop.
With a couple limpers or cold callers I might cold call and play it for set value if I think the pot will be 4 or 5 way because the implied odds are huge in these spots, especially if the blinds are total loose fish.
In a family pot I'll always cap it for value.
I like JJ and TT and tend to play them more than muck them. Basically I need a read to muck them.
