I raise flop on hand one to 60ish, there are too many cards that slow you down.

I 3-bet in the second hand.

rog,
are you calling a shove vs. this player (if you raise the flop?)

op,
hand 1 i might peel again and fold the river. folding now can't be too bad vs. this specific opponent.

2 i call and get it in on a blank turn.

Re: Two JJ hands , stars 200nl
 

Hand 1 -- Should have 3-bet pf or raised flop bet to figure out how strong UTG is. Fold is best, but I don't mind call hoping to check it down. No way you put more money into this pot that isnt absolutely necessary.

Hand 2 -- You are probably way ahead or way behind. Readless, this is a clear fold.

Re: Two JJ hands , stars 200nl
 

Hand one, how many are 3btting preflop, how many are are raising the flop?

same question rob- are we 3betting the flop to get it in becasue i think agaisnt all but the most maniacal players this is bad

Na I would assume he only shoves better hands and give up. In pos it can't be bad to call either, but I feel there are quite a few cards that will make it hard for you to get money out of lower PP's and I would assume that unknowns aren't gonna fire another bet with nothing.

Eww, look at UTG's stats

Re: Two JJ hands , stars 200nl
 

rog,
raise folding that flop with an overpair is no good. (hand 1).

Re: Two JJ hands , stars 200nl
 

ok basically my thinking on hand 1 preflop is 3betting wins me a small pot some times and most of the time i have to fold to his 4bet or get trapped by QQ for a big pot. On the flop his cbet into 2 people is somewhat troublesome so I just called and on teh turn i cant think of one hand I beat.

hand two- he is aggro, and I think I am close to even money against his range for raising the flop, but since Im OOP if I flat call, i risk giving a free card to a draw on the turn and getting semi bluffed off the best hand or getting value towned by a better hand if i continue to call. 3betting this flop is also bad imo becasue he is probably only folding air and a pair of tens(maybe) if I 3bet.

any comments on my reasoning and thinking would be appreciated

I'd fold both
