Im interested in why people want to raise more than a standard raise (4bbs for me) with JJ.
I recognise it as a marginal hand like TT for example, but if you playit as you would play other strong hands surely you'll buy enough pots to make it profitable. If you go with the 'raise it massive' idea 1) it advertises your hand (im thinking how nice my KQ might look here) and 2) so many then want to push it post flop or do something equally stupid. If i see overcards on a flop after a 5+bb raise im betting at them putting them on a marginal hand.
I guess i just think you get stung less often if you play it as a hand you would raise with under normal circumstances. Aggression post flop and maybe at the turn is the key here surely not mad preflop raises and then suicide betting post flop.
But then i guess ive been working hard on dropping second best hands recently maybe thats what it is.
Also if your standard rasing the pot and then hitting flops hard, especially when overcards appear or if you have an overpair then where is the difference between hitting an Ace high board with AQ and an Ace high board with JJ? Only a policeman or calling station is going to figure it out.
Just my thoughts.
