Jacks ITM
Is there anything I should do differently? I know you're gonna tell me to push preflop, which is cool, but since I didn't, how's my play otherwise?

Re: Jacks ITM
push preflop, push the flop, dont wait until the freakin ace falls to push...
looks like you got greedy with a big pocket pair.. |

Re: Jacks ITM
I'd check and fold after your flop bet was called. A nice bluff on the turn, but I don't think you have too much fold equity.

Re: Jacks ITM
I might try to check raise this flop, check/check is not total disaster (Unless an ace or king falls) and a check raise might win me some chips when I'm actually in front.
Of course, I wouldn't be in this position.. but you know that anyway [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img] Lori |

Re: Jacks ITM
C/R does sound like a nice idea. I just almost never do it unless I am the one who called the raise preflop. People love to push with A-highs and stuff like that once ITM / HUP though, so it might be a good idea even with no specific reads.
I'm not entirely convinced of the superiority of just pushing every time you have ~10BB. Not saying that I know better, but I like to play flops from time to time with good hands against bad players. |

Re: Jacks ITM
Every other raise should be a push, making the smaller raise with your big pairs is just suspicious.

Re: Jacks ITM
Push preflop. You are giving the guy pot odds to draw out on you, and that's precisely what he did.
