i'd raise preflop. in this case i'd bet 180 on flop.

Preflop looks fine, I'm playing medium pairs for set value in EP early.

Postflop, a bet looks blindingly obvious (3/4 pot or so), and evaulate from there. Just don't go broke unimproved.

You would raise JJ there preflop, though, right?

I bet 200 and they all folded. If I had gotten raised by a pre-flop caller (not the original raiser), what's your plan? I think I'm folding for sure against the original raiser.

I don't know, ask nuggetz and bigt instead, they are obviously the best players on the forum.

P.S. Generally raise JJ and read-dependent on what to do vs. a raise post-flop, but like I said, don't go broke.

Whoa, where did this come from, Pineapple? I hope it's not something I said [img]/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img]

edit: nm, saw the other post. I think that big downswing of yours is getting to you...buck up happy camper, and turn that frown upside down [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Preflop is cool. Looks like it's the 2nd hand of the tourney. I do prefer a limp then, though I'd often raise this to 80 as well.

I'm leading flop for about what you did, but I hate these spots. If we don't take it down here we are in awfully tought spots on the next two streets. Very few turns feel safe and there is a chance we are already crushed.

Given your read, however, I'd be delighted to get AI vs the SB here. Otherwise I'm reluctant to stack off unimproved.

Bet 3/4 into the raiser and reevalute from there. If he raises, fold. If he flat calls, then you have to put him on a hand range (isnt poker fun!)

[Green Kool Aid]

bet flop. i like a shutdown if he calls flop.

I call preflop. I dont like reraising with TT to play it out of position.

I would bet something like 160 - 200. You are most likely ahead, there are a lot of bad cards that can leave you guessing if you give a free card and I dont really think I want to try a checkraise here because all you have is one pair. I'd rather take the pot down here (and/or get some info) than bloating it with what could be a 2nd best hand.
