JJ in SB against BB aggression..standard?
Just checking if I left the toaster on...anyone see a problem. My thoughts...he'll fold worse hands and raise better. Should I 3-bet the flop (this seems like overkill here)? What if he calls the turn?

Re: JJ in SB against BB aggression..standard?
I think the likelihood that he's playing a draw this way is pretty small, and that's a pretty crappy flop for your Jacks.
I realize this is a blind on blind deal, but unless this guy is overly aggressive I would lay down to the flop raise; he's probably not a very good player, and he's giving you a chance to get off the hook. I'd take it. Sure, sometimes he'll pull a stunt like this w/ JT or two diamonds, but I think that will be a very small minority of the time. It's also going to cost you 2 bets to showdown and I don't think there's anyway you're good here 25% of the time, which is why im leaning toward folding the flop. The turn bet is also problematic. What are you going to do if he just calls? I don't think he ever just flat out folds to your turn bet, and when he just calls you you're going to have a heck of a time on the river while he'll likely be able to play it pefectly. Sure, if he raises you can get away, but why spend the extra bet and a half to find out what you're already 90% sure of? |

Honestly, i would either check-raise the flop, or bet-call and fold on the turn if i didn't hit a J or at least an open-ender

Why would you want to check-raise the flop?

Re: JJ in SB against BB aggression..standard?
Thanks for your response. I should have folded here, but I will occasionally bluff raise in BB's position if I can improve, but don't have a hand. This was my thinking when I 3-bet. Say I am BB with JT, is a raise correct? I've been having some trouble with Pocket pairs like these--either I've been releasing them too soon or holding them too long.

Re: JJ in SB against BB aggression..standard?
I would cap pf with JJ if given the opportunity. When you miss a flop with a pp I tend to fold to a bet unless I have a bd straight draw, and even then I may not stick around. If it is raised and the board is low and raggy I may call down when HU hoping my big ace read is good on the raiser. Other than those two situations I'm not continuing. I don't want to be the guy who calls a bunch of bets to hit his two outer on the river. Not with Santa watching...

Re: JJ in SB against BB aggression..standard?
I'm check/folding the turn. BB's flop raise on that board after your preflop cap doesn't say good things for JJ.
