5.50 JJ against a dangerous board
 

Early in the game, but it is a wild one. One player already gone on 1st hand. Three or four players will play any two. However, the villian has yet to get out of line.

I couldn't get converter to work.

Against a "dangerous" board? Are you joking or what? You've got a [censored] set, for God's sake! You're worried about 6 hands in total - AA (3 ways), KK (3 ways), QT (16 ways).. and against the last one you have redraws, so what the hell are you worried about? Get your stack in the middle!

You should've raised preflop but that's by the by.

Hahah thats funny. When I read the topic I thought about an Ace high paired and one suit flop. I you are lucky someone made two pair and you double up.
