Re: JJ
 

Why, in the name of zeus #"#¤*2@£$, did u check the flop?

Re: JJ
 

Yeah, got to bet that Flop - they may all fold, or they may all think your making a continuation bet, cross your fingers and hope for an under set or an over pair.

Re: JJ
 

That flop check isn't that bad. There are no serious draws out there so it's fine to give the other players a chance to improve to a second best hand.

TheCardGeek, how could someone be holding an overpair given the pre-flop action? No draws and only one jack left in the deck to give someone a top pair. This is an ideal spot to wait and give the others a chance to actually get something worth playing.

Re: JJ
 

I disagree. A J and a 9 make for a lot of gutshot draws, which you do not want to catch up or at least pay to try, which they will anyway. Bet the flop and hope they already have a strong hand.

Re: JJ
 

Slava, youve posted 6 hands without posting a single read.

Please please please provide some text to go with your converted hands. Im not saying this to be an [censored], Im saying this cos reads are important.

Slava, you have a leak! when you have a good hand on the flop at nano limit tables, you must must must bet unless you have a specific reason not to do so. if you dont understand why you should be betting then please ask.

cheers

You're right, I didn't remember the board correctly when I replied. Usually betting is the way to go but the point I was trying to make was that with top set you can sometimes slowplay. This is not one of those times, however, you're right.

That flop check terrible because you have a monster hand with a big pot with four others in the pot with you.

FYP

Re: JJ
 

You should never slowplay when the pot is this big and there are this many players in the pot. Actually, just the pot size is enough to never slowplay here.

Re: JJ
 

that flop check sux. don't post so many hands if you are still at that stage of learning. just read and comment on existing hands.
