What happened here? I have no idea what these guys have...Figure the raiser to have the jack played oddly...but the first better has....?

No real reads here....early on and I sat out for the first several minutes. (unforeseen necessity)

I thot my call was going to be a safety move/trap play depending...but looking back - I should've raised?

Flame away. Surely I messed this one up.

Based on how they played it, I can see at least one of them with AJ. You may be up against JJ, but limping from early position is a pretty poor play with that hand because doing so lets Ax and KQ limpers in and an A or K on the flop is a disaster.

Based on some pushes I have seen at the $5 tables, I would call this one.

You should have made your decision on this hand when the action got back to you on the flop. Are you going to go with it, or not? A flat call is quite bad here with 2 other opponents as there is so much in the pot already and quite a lot of cards you won't like to see on the turn. I mean say an A or K comes on the turn, and there's a bazillion chips in there, what are you going to do? So, at this juncture, you should decide. Push or fold. I can't say either is particularly bad here, but being a $5, push is probably better.

You're probaqbly right here.... I thought I could call the flop and re-evaluate the turn...but then I got lost into TWO pushers...This hand got a little crazier than the normal $5s...and thats saying a lot.

yeah, there's really nothing left to re-evaluate by calling the flop raise. with what you knew at that moment, pushing over a likely "J" would have been my move.

the action behind your call? oh boy...who knows. given the PF action, i don't see JJ or an overpair here. probably a strong J, and maybe an A6 or something.

Well - one of them has a jack here for sure... But I was more worried about the original better than the villian2 for the raise...

I guess another mistake I made was thinking that an average player at the 5s would know to bet out the trips into the PFR rather than check/call or check/raise. Most 5ers would play it the latter way now that I think about it....
