Default Re: An odd hand... JTc UTG

Hey elindauer,

You forgot to put one of those [img]/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img] faces next to your preflop limp, which I dislike.

Otherwise I actually like your play. That flop hit you so hard that I'd instinctively slowlplay it, too.

What's wrong with the pre-flop limp? Limping is MUCH better than raising here, in my opinion, as it tends to encourage multiway action which is what you need to even make this hand playable in the first place. Folding is an option at a very tight table but with correct post-flop play I'd say that limping this UTG is profitable at a good majority of tables. (I'd only fold if I knew I was very unlikely to get more than 2 or 3 opponents and figured to be isolated very, very often... though if that were always the case I'd probably find a new table anyway.)

Ah yes, the preflop limp. Usually I raise, rarely I fold, here I limped. However, I think that a good argument for usually folding can be made in these aggressive games, and rarely raising, as a default play. JTs is a trouble hand for me in general, so if you have any suggestions beyond just not liking it, I'm interested.

thanks,
Eric

I always fold this in EP, but I'm beginning to think I'm playing way too tight from up front.
