Easy laydow with JJ right?

[DpR]

Perhaps banal hand, but I find JJ one of the tougher hands to play. Anyone call this down??

Party Poker 5/10 Hold'em (9 handed)

Preflop: Hero is CO with J[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], J[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img].
UTG calls, <font color="666666">4 folds</font>, <font color="CC3333">Hero raises</font>, <font color="666666">3 folds</font>, UTG calls.

Flop: (5.40 SB) A[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], T[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], A[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] <font color="blue">(2 players)</font>
UTG checks, <font color="CC3333">Hero bets</font>, UTG calls.

you're getting 6.7-1 on the turn with 6 outs (40-6), plus implied odds. unfortunately AK, AQ, AJ, or AT makes some or all of your outs dirty. I think this is a close decision, but I don't the fact that if you spike a J or Q, you won't be able to raise the river, since it's so likely he'll have aces-full. there aren't all that many players at 5/10 that open limp UTG with A9 and below, and the onces that do stick out.

I may be crazy here, but if you want to mix things up a bit I'd be inclined to check the flop through and raise the turn if he bets, intending to fold to a 3-bet. It will take a real hand 99% of the time to be able to 3-bet a turn raise.

you can't really afford to give free cards on that draw-heavy flop. maybe with kings

I would check behind the turn here... you might be ahead but could easily be behind and you definitely don't want to get raised. Check the turn and call the river for the same price.

I disagree, I like a turn check.

easy turn check - especially once you pick up those gutshot outs.
