Default Re: WCOOP 14: Possibly bad play of JJ with analysis.

I think the shove on the river is bad. When you call the turn, you are basically thinking that he is raising you with air.

On the river, he gives up and checks to you, and you hope to make him fold Ax? Once you call his turn raise, he probably thinks you have a queen. Fine, he gives up on the river, but why do we think he has to have KK or Ax? He could just as easily have TT if he is as tricky as you say he is.


Preflop: The problem, is that I would normally raise JJ preflop here and define my hand. But fine, you have position

Flop: When he bets, if you think JJ is good you should raise here and define your hand. I might call, but usually I will be calling when the stack sizes are awkward and I want to keep the pot small.

Turn: He checks to you, and you don't want to give him a free card to catch maybe an A or K so you bet. He raises and you think he is FOS? I would normally fold this, very few players are playing KK this way or AA this way, you can mostly rule those out.
