Why not c/r the flop?

Re: Too weak? - Jacks from SB 200NL
 

Betting the flop is fine and good. I too suck at folding to min-raises, especially on this super draw heavy board.

If he checks behind turn, check/call river. If he bets strong as he did, just give it up.

C/R sucks because we lose all worse hands and have no idea what to do on the turn if he calls. (C/F?) Admittledly we pick up CB monies... but I think that the risk/reward of a check/raise is not that good. I would prefer it with air.

RR PF, though.

i think a reraise pf would be nice....and cbet the flop...as played on the turn i would fold....a huge overbet here is rarely a bluff.....a huge semi mabye(huge maybe).....but still i fold......

dont want it checked through with so many scare cards to come?

Re: Too weak? - Jacks from SB 200NL
 

why reraise the pre flop betting with jacks?? If here hits a set on the flop he's looking very good

Re: Too weak? - Jacks from SB 200NL
 

I think reraising pf would have let the hand play itself, may be? He showed A[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]K[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] after I folded the turn.
/result oriented approach

bc only QQ/KK/AA are beating you right now...

and your a favorite most of the time on the flop vs AK/AQ/KQ..most hands..

No, Jacks are strong enough to 3bet at 6max against most opponents and situations. I don't think it should be mainly played for set value.
