why didn't you river a flush? You were so close.

P.S. You don't see that play very often, so i don't know what to tell you.

I've played you a bit today, you definitely value these kind of hands too much. You shouldn't be re-raising with JJ like this. It's just not strong enough and this is a big leak.

I'd be hard pressed to put him on a monster since he was the 2nd person to limp, but the smallish reraise instead of a push screams strength to me. Sometimes donks make this play with a pair, hoping to push you off of AK, but it's almost always a push. You just have JJ and it's still early. Considering there have been 2 double ups on level 1 and this donk play (whatever he might have, playing it this way is obviously sub-optimal), you're going to have better chances. I'd fold it.

Edit: to remove JJ rant

agree, this is a big leak, but there are soooooo many donks even at the $55s.... couple case in points

1.) 1st hand i have KK, UTG raises to 60, i push... BB calls w/ TT and UTG calls w/ 99--- this is a $55!!!


2.) LVL 2, EP open raises to 125, i reraised to 275, he pushes and turns over AK, i have AA

I get soooo confused when people make donk plays, 2nd psoition limping w/ KK at lvl 1!!! This is a big leak, and i DO need to work on it a bit, but at the same time, there are sooooo many donks pushing w/ utter crap at lvl 1/2.
