Apparently, I did something that people won't like? Please clarify Fallen Hero.

Re: JJ UTG+1
 

I don't think there's really any other way to play it, other than putting in a full pot bet on the flop maybe. NH.

I'm trying to understand what the implied question is on this thread.

Re: JJ UTG+1
 

I'm not trying to imply any question other than what I am asking, if thats what you mean. I simply am curious if I played this well. See, I'm still terrible at NL, and am currently trying to understand why, and where to play certain ways/situations.

Other than that, I'm not sure what you are looking for.

Re: JJ UTG+1
 

You raised pf with JJ and you got all-in on the flop with the nuts, I don't think any meaninful discussion can come of this, I think it's just a bad beat post. I'm sorry if I'm wrong.

Re: JJ UTG+1
 

you got all in with the nuts on the flop!!! why are you even posting this???

Re: JJ UTG+1
 

100% standard.

Re: JJ UTG+1
 

Fair enough. It isn't a bad beat post, I did win this hand. I honestly am just trying to focus on making the right decisions at the table, and my confidence on that front is literally about as low as it can be.

Thanks for the input.

Re: JJ UTG+1
 

I'm guessing you got beat by a straight. Not much you can do about that, and getting all in is the best defence.

How to get all-in is the question, so I think saying "you got all in, nothing to discuss" is a bit results-orientated.

Apart from betting the pot, other options on the flop would be a slowplay or check-raise. Is top trips good enough for a slowplay?

Re: JJ UTG+1
 

did someone hit a straight - ofcourse you played this right WTF else could you have done??

not on that draw heavy board

Re: JJ UTG+1
 

AJ might trump me, and I'm fine with it if he does. But I'm choosing to not lock this thread.

Normally I would lock this thread becasue it has all the signs of being a bad beat post. Hero is properly aggressive PF, flops the nuts and is properly aggressive &amp; gets all-in on the flop. There is no debate that this line is good &amp; proper.

But the OP is a self-described NL rookie, and I believe he's asking the question genuinely. And I've said it before: if you can't ask rookie questions in SSNL, where can you ask them?

So I'm leaving this thread open.

Re: JJ UTG+1
 

for the OP, just so we're clear... it was perfectly played on the flop our young apprentice... carry on with your training and you soon will become a member of the jedi council

Re: JJ UTG+1
 

Preflop raise is good. Leading that flop is good. It's draw-heavy. You are a huge favorite. Get your money in the middle now. Pretty standard play. It doesn't matter what happens on the turn or river. You played it correctly.
