HUSNG: JJ on 66K board

ghettointlectual · #1 10-16-2007, 08:45 PM

This opponent has been calling me fairly light so I know villain's range here is wider than a 6 or K on the flop however I am not sure how much to bet on the turn since I think that me betting the pot and villain calling means that villain has a 6 or K much more often and my bet becomes -ev (Am I right to think like this?) I would like to know what line you think gets the most value out of JJ, including preflop?

With these stacks, I think you need to raise to 80 preflop to deny your opponent implied odds and make him pay to play the hand in position. In general, you should also punish limpers, especially ones you know will call you light.

The flop is iffy. If you had a hand with a king, you're not too vulnerable except to flush draws. I'd probably check 50% of the time here, because you're not really aiming to play a big pot. With a loose player, I don't mind betting though.

On the turn, just check. If he has a flush draw, he's drawing to 9 outs and if he's ahead, he's going to call/raise your bet because a) he has a 6 -- he's playing trappy or b) he has a king, and could put you on a flush draw and won't fold.

As played, c/f is good. You're ahead of nothing in his range.

I think the key here is that you don't want to play a big pot OOP here.

Thanks for the replies, I think one of my leaks is playing big pots oop. I will be working on it.
