Default Re: JTs after a reraise preflop

You're looking for advice on how to play JTs oop against a pre-flop limp-reraiser. The answer: there isn't a great way to play it, so fold it pre-flop. Here you flopped TP+flush draw, and it's still difficult: check-raise the flop, or lead out on the turn, otherwise you have to make the flush in order to win.

This really is a *big* point that you're missing, and _everyone_ is trying to tell you. The best immediate improvement you can make, isn't to figure out how to play this situation, it's to not put yourself there in the first place.

If some one told you they had a high pocket pair KK-AA, and that you could play for $15 into a $22 pot already ( Pot would be $52 in total). Are you folding or calling with JTs?

I really dont understand why everybody is saying that it is so difficult to play this hand postflop, and that you should thus fold this hand in this situation.

I would say it is EXTREMELY easy to play the hand postflop, since you know exactly what your opponent is holding, and the stacks are deep enough to justify the call.
