10NL folding JJ PF?

[friskyfleabag]

Is this weak-tight? Or is it a good fold considering the reraise and player still to act behind me?

No way am i folding JJ like this to a minraise, you could probably call just for set value! lol, remember this is 10NL....

Don't fold here. Without reads, I'd call and see what the flop brings. Unfortunately, you're gonna go broke here a number of times if the flop comes all low cards. Still, don't give UTG's min-re-raise that much credit.

In the future, look at the Villain's stack and look at your position: if he's got a lot of chips and if you're in position, it's all good.

That's what I thought. I probably would have called if the BB hadn't flat called a 10BB reraise and is still to act after me... I figured at least one of them was probably on a higher PP.

Does this still apply when I'm committing myself to putting in 20BBs preflop with an active player still to act behind me? I appreciate that this is 10NL so realistically they could have pretty much anything, but I'm trying to improve my game now before I move up so that I don't fall into bad habits due to opponents playing anything most of the time.

Cheers.

Depends on reads and stack sizes. Given that BB just called, you're gonna see a call many times here. So you're getting 5:1 on your pre-flop call which is good enough to call here.

If you have a read that UTG is a bad player who raises with garbage, feel free to raise on the button and push the BB out of the pot. UTG is short-stacked and may push, but that's usually a good result.

The safe play, however, is to call. I don't think there's ever a time to lay down JJ here. One exception would be if BB raised and UTG re-raised: at that point, someone my have you beat.

Still, JJ is a good hand, especially in position.

Ok that makes sense, cheers.
