Re: Interesting JJ hand
This is how I would rationlize it..
1) I cant read his hand.. He's either extremly strong or fairly weak.. he likely wants to showdown. thats all I know about his hand.
2) My hand is very strong relative to the board and most opponetns PF range
3)
If my opponent has two over cards to my JJ and he decides to check behind the river UI, hes got to see a showdown for 2BB and gets 3BB out of me when he improves.
4)If he has a strong hand he would make around the same amount of money off me as if he had fast played it (if I play it passvily here).
Allowing him to take this line effectivly minimizes his losses on A hi hands and givse him equivalent gains on his hands > yours.
Therefore, since he has a weak hand much more often than a strong hand in his preflop distribution.. Id err on the side of 3-betting so he doesnt exploit you.
Save a weaker hand like 88 for your call down...
Another way to rationalize it:
LOL @ this line being strong in most sitautions... 3-bet cause he probabily has nothing and will likely call u cause ppl cant fold.
This is a REALLY uncommon slowplay situation and a not too uncommon "im a stupid donk, messing around" situation..
