Re: JJ, opening hand
What buy in?
I don't play JJ this aggressively preflop ten handed. Personally I'd call the 30, and see a flop. (If I do raise, it's no more than 3x the min raise). Putting in 1/4 of your stack makes the pot so big, any continuation bet is crippling/committing. I think this early, my line is call the minraise. Fold to a raise on this flop, if the flop checks to me I'll lead out half pot. If I get callers/cr'ers I'm done with the hand. |

Re: JJ, opening hand
Pre-Flop
looks good (to me) Flop Maybe make the bet t200 on the flop? (about 1/3) Turn This is a constant situation for me on the turn. Best thing to do is recap what has gone down so far. He called a min raise pre-flop, then called your 145 reraise. He likes what he sees, but perhaps he sees no value in raising it himself? A-x suited? KJ+? Low pocket pair? Was he trying to trap with that flop check? With all that said, I would put in a bet of about t300. Otherwise you're gonna have to make a tough decision on the ... River Now that we're here, what the hell do we do? Close your eyes and call with 6:1 odds, is what. Sigh ... |

Re: JJ, opening hand
It was a $10 buy-in.
One thing I'm not too sure about at this point, (but something I'm trying to get better at), is how much to bet and raise relative to the size of the pot and the size of my stack. |

Re: JJ, opening hand
Preflop - you made a very big raise and got two callers. Unless they're both morons (which is possible at this buy-in), one of them has an ace or higher pair. I think you could have gained the same info by raising to $100 or so.
Flop - you bet 1/4 of the pot. This bet really didn't gain you any information about MP1s hand. You don't know whether he has an ace, a pocket pair or a flush draw. The problem is, if you bet more than 1/2 the pot, you've committed 1/2 your stack on this hand. I think you should either check or go all-in. I don't really like risking everything this early, with your hand and this flop, so I would probably check. If the turn was bet, I would probably fold. If the turn was checked and river was bet, I would call up to about 150. |
