Villain has pretty loose stats:

28.38 VP$IP and 6.34% Pre-flop raise over 268 hands.

And before anyone can say anything, yes I should have raised more preflop...probably to something like $55.

Yes, easy push.

No, but seriously. You reraise to $42 tells everyone, "hey I got a big pair." It's $30 to call for UTG so he can legitimately call for set value if he thinks you will pay him off.

Make it 55-60 preflop. This is obviously read dependent, but it looks to me like a set of J or 9, so I'd fold (if that was what I placed him one). Also notice that you don't have the Ah which would greatly improve your chances of winning if you pushed and were behind.

you'll see QQ and KK or draws or bluffs here as much as you'll see JJ (which is all I can think of that beats u, MAYBE 99)

Gugel · #6 12-12-2005, 01:38 AM

If you were up against Garland and he reraised you preflop and bet 3/4 of a large pot on the flop, would feel very happy with QQ?

I think you're burning money here if you go with this.

aggie · #8 12-12-2005, 03:19 AM

Push. KK, QQ, AhKh, AJ,10-10, bluff are all posibilities. And many people slowplay JJ here. I think you're definitely ahead more often than not and villian is pot stuck.

Lucky · #9 12-12-2005, 05:12 AM

all in and he shows you the JJ?
