How to play this JJ hand.
Playing 2-4 nl on royal vegas poker with a 350 stack. Pick up black JJ in the sb. 4 limpers when the button, a regual solid player (500$), decides to make it 24 to go. I decided to flat call, since I didnt want to raise and be blown off my hand or have him call and have position on me. Sure this may have been a bad call, so please critique it and include your thoughts, im new to this limit of play.
Anyways, one of the limper calls, (Pot 88$)and the flop comes 4 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]q [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]7 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] I check to the raiser who bets 64$. How would you play this han donwards or what would you have done differently than me. (My apologies if this is an obvious hand but I need to get better at hands like these as they make the difference of winning or losing) |

Re: How to play this JJ hand.
Without a good read on villain I check/fold. Could have AK and missed, or AK spades, AQ, or QQ-AA. I play the same and laydown to what looks like a confident bet.

[/ QUOTE ] this is the smallest range of hands i've ever ever ever seen... he could have any pair, suited connectors, really anything, who knows... i'm check raising this flop and folding if called (unless i spike my J =) |

Re: How to play this JJ hand.
There is nothing wrong with your pf call and your check on the flop is fine. After his bet, just fold.
I don't know why you think the preflop call should be bad. Fine odds playing alone for the set and lots of rags flops gives you oppertunity to bet out. |

The pf call is fine. I would probably lead the flop, get him on the defensive if he has something like AKo or something.Reevaluate on turn.

why do you want AK to call, but AQ to fold? [/ QUOTE ] Because AQ has top pair and is ahead. AK has dreams. |
