3bet preflop? I dont like doing that with JJ. Didn't bet the flop since there was an overcard and a preflop raiser on my right. Checkraise if he bets? Had just enough outs on the turn with a gutshot (3-4) and Js (1-2)

Turn completed 2 overcards and 2 overcards. Thought there was at least a Q or A or/and flush draw out there. Turns out there were all 3 but was it a good fold?

Final Pot: 5.75 BB

Really dont know about this, on the flop there is a flush draw and the dreaded A, turn has flush, 2 overs, and straights. I didnt even have th J [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], nearly folded that flop

1: looks fine to me. UTG+2 felt good about betting into two pre-flop raisers on that flop, and MP2 felt good about raising him. Can't see you being ahead in any way.

2: I say 3-bet. Take control now, and possibly get it heads up, or get more money into the pot you're figuring to win. 3-betting also makes the hand a tad easier to play. If he caps, it tells you more about his hand. It also lets you lead the flop usually. With the flop getting checked around, and then another overcard coming on the turn, there's really no way for you to know where you are at this point. When 3 people call inbetween you and the BB on the turn, I say throw it away. Someone has a K or Q. You're drawing to 6 outs, only 3 of which are probably totally clean (the non-diamond T's).

3: I love sets

4: Fold seems fine. You showed strength, that's not exactly a draw laden flop, and they called anyway.

5: Again fold seems fine. Can't really put him on a single hand that you're ahead of, and the pot is tiny.

Thanks, didnt want to think I was getting weak with JJ
