Default Re: What\'s the correct bet size here?

When the action comes around to you there is 3600 in the pot.
if you raise to 4800 your giving UTG 2.6-1 odds and he might call here which would make it an automatic call for UTG+1 because of pot odds. so to make sure he doesnt call, you want to reraise a little mroe than that. a reraise to about 8000 would be good. giving UTG less than 2-1 odds to call, he should fold. then UTG+1 can only call with AA,KK,QQ,AK. i think he would throw away jacks here if you think hes solid.

1.) stop reading Tom Mcevoy articles, they will turn your brain to mush.

2.) Why would I EVER want him to fold JJ?

3.) When they call with 2.6-1 odds, are they making the correct play?

4.) If you are betting to get them to fold, why do you need pocket kings to do it?

Why would you want Jacks or Queens to fold? I would reraise
probably about 3to 4x the pot. If I felt a push would get
both players to call than I would push. If I am against AA
well there's a new tourney in an hour.
