Jacks get me into trouble so often at the 11's that I'm beginning to think that limping and playing for set value is the safest, most trouble free way to play in this situation.

I, too, have made the common mistake of building a big pot by raising too much PF. Jacks just aren't strong enough to do this at the 11's with these monkeys calling 4-5x BB raises w/A-6o.

Each time you think about hammering a bunch of limpers PF with your Jacks, repeat to yourself, "Overs are coming more than half the time on the flop and one or more of these goons are gonna have one." Who wants to be stuck in this situation? Not me. I learned my lesson. And I'm pretty sure that 45suited up above here is the one who taught me.
