Why you play JJ hard - a cautionary tale
Tonight was the night of "yeah, I say to do that, but I'm so great that I don't have to."
This is why you play pocket jacks agressively, not sneakily. Party Poker 1/2 Hold'em (9 handed) converter Preflop: Hero is SB with J[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], J[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]. UTG calls, <font color="CC3333">UTG+1 raises</font>, MP1 calls, <font color="666666">4 folds</font>, Hero calls, <font color="666666">1 fold</font>, UTG calls. Hmmm... I'm in the SB out of position. I'll just call and see if I like the flop. Flop: (9 SB) K[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], 9[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], 3[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] <font color="blue">(4 players)</font> Hero checks, UTG checks, UTG+1 checks, MP1 checks. Ok, not too bad. Let's go for a check-raise to take out UTG.... Hey, wait! You can't check -- you raised pre-flop! Turn: (4.50 BB) 3[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] <font color="blue">(4 players)</font> <font color="CC3333">Hero bets</font>, UTG folds, UTG+1 folds, MP1 calls. Cool, now I have Jacks up! But there could be another 3 out there... Ok, enough of this fooling around -- I'm betting! River: (6.50 BB) 9[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] <font color="blue">(2 players)</font> <font color="CC3333">Hero bets</font>, <font color="CC3333">MP1 raises</font>, Hero calls. Wha? You're raising me! The insolence! Fine, I'll call you and you'll be sorry when you see my mighty Jacks! Final Pot: 10.50 BB <font color="green">Main Pot: 10.50 BB, between Hero and MP1.</font> > <font color="white">Pot won by MP1 (10.50 BB).</font> Results in white below: <font color="white"> MP1 shows Td 9d (full house, nines full of threes). Hero shows Jd Jh (two pair, jacks and nines). Outcome: MP1 wins 10.50 BB. </font> Please beat me now. |
