Running Bad - This Sort Of Thing's Why

Would you have got away from this?

The villain here has been playing a lot of hands and not particularly aggressively, tending to be a bit of a calling station. I really only considered the possibility of a full house when the river bet came in but by then there was so much in the pot...

I fold preflop. I bet more on the turn.

only way your going to get J2 out of this hand is if you raise preflop...

maybedinero · #7 06-09-2005, 07:16 PM

You would seriously fold JT, on the button, with no raise, in a $25 PL game?

Afterwards I felt my biggest mistake was not raising enough on the flop--when I get trips I usually try to play it a bit slow until the turn unless I'm really confident I'll get a call. Maybe I should stop playing them like that?

You should raise more on the flop because there is a flush draw AND str8 draw and alot of people seem to be interested in this pot...not because you want to blow J2 out of the pot.

I hate JTo.
