Re: Playing JJ in Mid position
 

I'm with steakhouse.

I can't believe the turn was checkcalled by his hand, and after it was I can't believe you bet the river, what hand did you put him on that he was paying you off with?

3bet PF, raise flop, call down to more aggeression than that.

Sounds like Casino AZ? Weird mix of LP and maniacal players in that 8/16 game. A few of these guys will raise with any 2 cards in a kill pot, since 16/32 takes most players out of their comfort zone, a lot of players will call hoping to see a good flop and score a big hit, but almost no one calls a raise PF without good cards.

I raise this PF and take out Fred, Bubba and Shirley playing 86s, QJo and the like (Shirley's old who wants her sucking them out?). UTG and maybe UTG+1 call and, of course, at least one of them has an A anda gutshot ,so they're sticking around. I keep jamming this pot until an A or 3 hits (or I'm otherwise convinced that I'm on a 2 outter). If neither hits, you pull in a big pile of chips almost every time.

Raise. Take control of the pot. He's the first to act. Put the pressure on him. Make him guess.

Re: Playing JJ in Mid position
 

I bet the river because of his tight image. At this point I had him on one of two hands, TT or QQ. I figured that my bet may make this particular player lay down QQ. I was folding to a river raise since the only hand that he is raising the river on me is a set which would really only be 99 which I have a really hard time seeing him raise PF with. The only hands i see him having are TT, JJ or QQ. I thought I could get him to fold QQ with a river bet, obviously he wouldnt have since he still called me down with TT. Learn something everytime I play this game.
