Re: JJ NL400 am I crushed?
I think you're crushed based on the flop call. As another commenter stated, UTG is following a line designed to get his stack in.
Now for a hijack
Suppose we take away the flop and plan an attack from the beginning with the OOP wired jacks. I see three potential lines, supposing deep stacks:
1) RR by 3x the original raise, fold to another raise
2) Call PF. Check-fold an Axx flop, Check-call a cbet otherwise. Check turn to see what PFRer does and make a decision.
3) Call PF. Check-fold an Axx flop, Check-call a cbet otherwise. Bet-fold most turns.
Being OOP is the problem. In most situations, I feel (3) is best as it keeps the pot more manageable and allows us to win more from missed high cards and lose less to bigger pairs. It risks allowing worse hands to see four cards though. (1) is good too, especially in this case because I think villain's range includes medium PP and semi-steal high cards. Unfortunately, we are investing a lot of money into a growing pot OOP with a difficult hand to play, and a large cbet looming. I think (2) is usually the worst.
What do you all think? At 25NL? At 200NL?
