10+1: JJ on a board with all lower cards..

Hi

What would you have done here? Maybe I play these SNGs too straightforward, but if I hit TPTK, two pair, trips, overpair etc. I'm going to war with my hand and it worked pretty good so far. But is this the wrong approach?

Pre-flop: (9 players) DonLigretto is UTG with J[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] J[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]
DonLigretto raises to t90, 5 folds, Button calls t90 (pot was t135), SB folds, BB calls t60 (pot was t225).

BB checks, DonLigretto bets t240, Button folds, BB raises to t780, DonLigretto raises all-in t1560, BB calls all-in t525.
Uncalled bets: t255 returned to DonLigretto.

This situation really sucks
I probably go broke here. I think its about 50/50 between the times you see A10/flush draw vs. set/QQ+. In a 10+1 its a risk I think Im willing to take.

raise more UTG with JJ.....and yea your going broke with this flop....dont be results oriented..

Looks fine to me. It's easier to remember when you are behind and bust in spots like this than all the times you're ahead and villain has Tx, a flush draw etc. nh.

Ok, so I'm not playing to offensive. Thx, I went broke against 47 offsuit...

hoyasaxa · #6 06-28-2007, 11:20 AM

yeah thats just gross, nothing you can do about that
fwiw i like the PF raise

mortimo · #7 06-28-2007, 11:32 AM

I like t100 preflop
t200-250 on the flop

As played, push

You reduce his implied odds to stack you with 47o, which is the natural born nemesis to JJ and other overpairs.

The difference in implied odds between 90 and 100 is negligible.
