Re: JTo otb in straddled hand
[ QUOTE ]
I'm with chesspain here. With this many callers JTo from late position is a prime play for me. The raise by the BB does not affect things in any way. Hands like JTo you ae looking for volume, hoping to flop a straight or strong draw. JB

the problem with this is you dont flop an OESD all that often and your pair cards are very weak and wont hold up against many opponents in a multiway pot. in addition, playing for only a straight is problematic as it can lead to you chopping the pot quite often even if you do hit.
JTs on the other hand, adds considerably to your winning chances and is an easy call in this spot.
