Default Re: $55: I still have no idea how to play JJ

The observant student will notice that hero had the Js. No donk shortage here.

I have no idea what I'd do if he had checked the flop. Probably bet it.

For those who are wondering he had QJ, TT checkraised all-in and he called.

Hero had J of spades. From the hands I've seen posted of the 55's, it seems like they play no different than the 11's. Maybe that's just because people post them for the ridiculous nature of them?

did he at least have QJ spades? at any rate, the guy with TT has balls. or is a donk.

they're tougher than the 11's, but you'd be surprised how bad some players are.

First hand? If I think I'm better than most of the competition (and I do at $55), then I fold preflop. Why get involved with a hand you might win a small pot, unless you trip, or lose a big one. Use your skill to beat these, not the first decent looking hand.

Later, if that guy is pushy, I'll reraise him (not call) with JJ preflop and make him pay to outdraw me (betting about 130% of the pot - unless that's going to pot commit me, then it's all going in).

Much Later - I'll push anyway ;-)

That answer would change if, say, I was playing a 1-winner double shootout, where I need a stack to work with - then I play this hand hard, cross my fingers and either move on or have some chips to work with (against great players).
