25NL overplaying JJ?
 

Been reviewing my stats, and I see that I lose tons of money playing JJ. Am I overplaying it?

Any comment will be much appreciated. Thanks in advance!

Re: 25NL overplaying JJ?
 

You should at least 3-bet preflop in the 2nd hand if not the first as well.

Outside of that both hands look fine.

Agree with 3-betting pre-flop
Don't like turn in hand 2 though. Doesn't leave much room for any worse hands to call

Re: 25NL overplaying JJ?
 

If you decide not to 3-bet preflop you should probably just play them as 'no set, no bet'.

I would probably 3-bet them both preflop.

Re: 25NL overplaying JJ?
 

I actually replayed this hand and was wondering why I did not 3bet PF. This was my first shot at 25NL, so maybe I just got scared. LOL

Paul- I don't understand why hand 2 is ok. The only hand that calls beats us and villan just called the flop which I usaully associate with a drawing hand. What am I missing?
