Default Re: Routine fold?

i hate your 3 bet with JJ Preflop just call and see what happend

I really like my 3-bet from the button with JJ, and I'd do it almost all the time. I want the BB and the limpers between the raiser and myself to call 2 bets cold, because I have a better hand than them. If they fold, that's OK too. Also, a raise here helps me define my opponent's hand better, if he caps, it's much more likely he has AA/KK (or AK/QQ if he's feeling frisky), or at least it would be on most sites. But still, at pacific with this many loose callers, I'm making so much money off 3-betting PF with JJ and having them call with their 92 s00ted (J5o really did call 4 bets PF), I think 3-betting here is definitely the move.

I am aware that, given the play, an A was likely, but the odds were indeed good. To be fair, the fact that i mucked them on the flop before and now i stay to the turn and sometimes river at least mean i am changing my game from weak-tight to tight-aggressive. And paying much closer attention to pot odds. Right??

If you stayed until the turn: Game changing from bad to good

gotcha. ta for the input.
what if i still have odds on the turn? i usually stay in the pot if the turn card is below my PP, is non-threatening [3-flush/3-str] and odds are on.

Is this wrong? surely not...

If you have the odds to chase from the turn to the river for what would likely be the winning hand, then that's fine. But if you're chasing a two-outer, you will rarely have a chance to get at least 20:1 on your turn call.

Calling the flop with odds to draw, and calling the turn without them has nothing to do with being tight/aggressive. Unless you're getting about 20:1 on your turn call (like chesspain said), calling the turn is losing you money.
