Button ($183.50)

Preflop: Hero is SB with J[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], J[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]. Hero posts a blind of $0.50.
1 fold, MP raises to $4, 1 fold, Hero (poster) raises to $11.5, 1 fold, MP calls $8.

really not sure whether raising or calling is best here, raising is fun though...

Flop: ($25) 3[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], A[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], Q[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] (2 players)


 hero...

is it worth betting against xorbies range here. he took a while to call the pf reraise, dunno what that means. check folding would just feel really week.

thx

I can't resist betting 15-20 here, or else I can't sleep at night

I put him on 22-QQ and AK and I would bet. Not really to protect my hand, but to get him to fold his small pair and possibly avoid tough decisions later in the hand.

Can't answer in regards to Xorbie, but in general I would Contiuation bet here. IMO opinion it will be tough for him to call without an Ace or better. If calls shut it down because your probably beat. Preflop I am not a fan of the reraise with JJ OOP especially since you said Xorbie had not been "crazy" to this point.

Xorbie's raising standards is probably very wide in the CO, given that he opened, and I would reraise here every time.

I'd CB. He almost certianly has to give you credit for the Ace so unless he has AK, QQ or 33 you're probably gonna force him to fold.

Again this is not Xorbie specific advice, I don't really know how he plays.

I bet 2/3-potish and don't put another dime in the pot if I'm called/raised. Him taking a while to call the raise means nothing as he's always 4-tabling (or more) and slowing all of them down.

Bet 20 on the flop fold to a raise. Checking is not an option....

I check fold. Two overcards flopped that is just a crap flop for jacks. Sometimes I take a shot at it on the flop, most of the time wait for a better spot. This is double true against someone I know is a good player and I am OOP.
