    Default Pocket Jacks OOP

    This situation comes up from time to time, so i thought i'd get some thoughts on it:
    I am out of position and havent been in very many hands to this point. Id like to hear how others would have played this and hands like it.


    PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em, $0.25 BB (8 handed) Hand History Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com (Format: FlopTurnRiver)

    UTG+1 ($22.10)
    MP1 ($6.55)
    MP2 ($23.65)
    CO ($38.90)
    Button ($24.30)
    SB ($25.20)
    BB ($11.80)
    Hero ($24.75)

    Preflop: Hero is UTG with J, J.
    Hero raises to $1, 1 fold, MP1 calls $1, 4 folds, BB calls $0.75.

    Flop: ($3.10) 4, 8, 2 (3 players)
    BB checks, Hero bets $3, MP1 calls $3, BB folds.

    Turn: ($9.10) K (2 players)
    Hero bets $1.25, MP1 raises to $2.5, Hero raises to $3.75, MP1 calls $0.04 (All-In).

    River: ($15.40) K (2 players, 1 all-in)

    Final Pot: $15.40

    Results in white below:
    Hero has Jh Jd (two pair, kings and jacks).
    MP1 has Ac As (two pair, aces and kings).
    Outcome: MP1 wins $14.20. Hero wins $1.20.


    *edit*
    If he would have had a bigger stack, i probably wouldnt have called the reraise, but it wasnt much more*

    Can't fault your play here.

    The shallow money trivializes this hand.

    I would just stick the rest in on the turn and not waste everyone else's time with that silly turn action.

    That was my fault, for some reason, i really thought he had $16 instead of 6, stupid mistake that I learned from.

    You don't hafta bet flop so hard.

    Don't ever bet 10% of the pot on the turn. Its an extremely weak play.

    Don't ever second guess stacking off with a strong hand against a 25bb stack. Its not worth the effort. I double up about 10 shortstacks every session I play, but I stack about 15. As long as you are picking up profit on the proposition its ok.

    True, BB isn't quite as shallow though (almost 50bb).
