a JJ question...
Ok, apologies once again for the lack of precise HH, I will try and get into the habit of producing them (I promise!)
I am just after some advice (and hopefully some solace!) on how I played one hand.
Right, it is a $5 Poker Room SnG. I have only played about 4 or 5 hands out of the 20-odd that have been passed, won a couple of little pots and had one nice pick up which moves me up to about $2175.
Then comes this hand ……
Blinds 25/50
I am UTG+2 and dealt pocket Jacks.
Now I realise that they are not a super strong hand, but still for me a raise here (?!) which I promptly do, 3xBB – 150 (maybe I could have gone stronger 4x? 5x?)
Player next to me calls
Short stack 2 seats later (3 after me) moves all-in for $580 (he has been yo-yo-ing in chips since the off and has just lost a big pot)
Folded round to me, I call, other player folds here.
I show JJ, he shows A6o. Bang, A 8 8 on the flop, no J in sight after that.
Sure, it didn’t break me, but I ended up on the bubble and I was left a little puzzled by this hand because
1. If he’s been paying attention, he must have me pegged as a tight player and should have me pegged as tight-aggressive. Am I just to put this down to the fact that I play on $5 tables and people just DON’T pay attention?
2. Why move on A6 when u are not in THAT much trouble (still have nearly $600 – 12xBB – in chips)?
3. Do people think he actually wanted a call here?
4. Do people think I actually should have called here?
Any comments?
