Default Re: J 10 suited - leaking my money away

hoskinator,

i'll keep this brief.

fabadam's advice is sound.


basically, you want to play JTs in multiway, unraised pots where possible. JTs has very little high-card strength, so you're playing this largely for draw possibilties.

I would probably not colcall with it unless I was sure 3-4 other would coldcall as well.

Basically, you just need to pump up your discipline. If the flop isn't good to you, fold. If you hit your pair, great, play it, but if a higher card fall on the turn and you're encountering some raising, think about folding.

You play JTs like any speculative hand. ON SPECULATION. Just as you'd probably fold your 55 on a 7AJ board, you're probably folding your JT on a 3TKA board if someone raises you on the turn.

so watch your pot odds for the GSes you'll probably see and be discplined.
