Default Re: 10NL - JJ on Button versus a pfr

Hey Akak,

Alot of players get this situation confused - the flop looks like a real tough spot, and they wonder what the best plan is.

Interestingly enough, the decision lies not on the flop, but preflop. If your opponent calls reraises light, and stacks off with a wide range of hands, then preflop is fine, and the flop is fine too. A raise to $5 or $10 doesn't make a difference, except for the rare cases when he reraise-bluffs on the flop.

That said against an unknown I don't love preflop, you're going to be value-stacking yourself a fair amount (vs sets and QQ+) so you need to *know* that he will pay you off with worse PPs, or worse flopped pairs, to make it worthwhile.
