    Default Fun with JJ

    The only history I have with villain is the first hand. I'm pretty sure it's an easy call.

    (Converter is messed up, I have JJ in both hands obv.)


    Poker Room skin
    No Limit Holdem Ring game
    Blinds: $2/$4
    5 players
    Converter

    Stack sizes:
    UTG: $186.00
    CO: $228.35
    Hero: $523.70
    SB: $177.70
    BB: $451.10

    Pre-flop: (5 players)
    2 folds, Hero raises to $14, SB raises all-in $175.7, BB folds, Hero calls.

    Flop: 6 8 7 ($355.4, 1 player + 1 all-in - Main pot: $355.4)


    Turn: 6 ($355.4, 1 player + 1 all-in - Main pot: $355.4)


    River: 2 ($355.4, 1 player + 1 all-in - Main pot: $355.4)


    Results:
    Final pot: $355.4
    SB shows KH KC
    Button shows JC JS

    Someone needs to explain to me how to play JJ in a 3bet pot vs unknowns...

    Hand 1 is an easy call

    Hand 2 i think is a c/p on the flop. As played you should c/r the river, because if he has a pair 99 or better he's going to bet it, and if he has nothing he's never going to call your bet but he may bluff.

    im wondering the same thing. I cant see how this is an easy call vs. an unknown.

    as for the second hand i think c/r the river is def. the best line here. I dont think villain is calling a >pot push.
    eeevees are not monies yet...they are like baby monies.

    1. Call b/c he has less than 50bb so you can't give him credit.

    2. I like to 4-bet JJ oop for value vs. the usual 2/4 3-betting range. Vs. an unknown I don't hate flat-calling I guess. Like Massimo, I would c/push this flop.

    hand 1 is such an ez call it's silly I have a tough time believing anyone would fold 4th nuts to an unknown for 50bb's preflop?

    hand 2 is interesting.

    had the 8 not paired, I'd have definitely gone for a river CR but, as played, I can see a weak villain going for "pot control" (el oh el) when the 8 paired and now making a crying call with AA-QQ since you "might be bluffing"
    when the vpip's are high and the value bets are like razors, who can be safe?

    Hand 2: I hate calling the flop in any other situation but this one here I think it's fine because the player doesn't seem great.
