[/ QUOTE ]Hi Dave - I like the lead on the second betting round. But you're swinging your bat ahead of the ball. In other words, your timing for whipsawing is off.

Either CO or UTG could have the same nut low as you, or either of them could have the second nut low draw (or worse). There's no realistic way to knock out someone who also has the nut low. And while you'd like to at least make it expensive for someone with the second nut low, it's one round too early.

what line are you advocating here?

[/ QUOTE ]Considering this particular situation, I'd just call the raise on the second betting round.

It might not make much difference this particular time. But I'm sure you agree that you don't generally want to back yourself into a position where you lose the initiative and you're check/calling the last two betting rounds. With your cards, you want to somehow be the one in command, to bet or raise and make it tough on your opponents. But you lost that, partly because of the cards your opponents held, partly because of the turn card, partly because of the too early jamming combined with the pre-flop raise, and partly because UTG is good enough that you ended up allowing him/her to get a good enough read to seize the initiative.

At least that's how it looks from the rail.
