Playing JJ after a raise and reraise.
In his book Hold'em for advanced players, Sklansky says that in tough games one should fold JJ in ANY position if it's been raised and reraised in front of you. Considering the aggression in most limit games, is this ever really correct?
The only situation where I think this would be correct is when two absolute rocks are doing the raising. In most situations, the first raise can be almost anything depending on the player. However, the second raise would more likely be AK AQ 1010 99 than QQ-AA, right? This could also be AJ KQ or worse if second player is isolating a fish. I don't know the answer, but I don't think the one in Sklansky's book explains enough. Anyone have a well thought out answer? Thanks |

If the first raiser is EP it is an easy fold.

Re: Playing JJ after a raise and reraise.
In HEFAP Sklanksky clearly states this is for higher limits (he says 10-20 and up but the book was written in the 70's)and when people know what they are doing. So if your at high limits vs. SOLID & GOOD PLAYERS (like the book says) its an easy fold. JJ is IMO the Worst-Best hand. YOU NEVER KNOW WHERE YOUR AT WHEN THERE IS MUCH ACTION. Calling 3 cold preflop with any hand is probably the worst play in poker. If you cant cap it you should fold it and you CANT cap JJ here.
