$10+1 Stars: JJ on paired flop

[MorsifiedZombie]

We might have the best hand...we may be way behind. Neither play is horribly wrong here. As either could work...

I don't get 2 arguments made here though.

1. C-betting gets you no info? What the heck are you talking about!! Now a world class player may take a C-Bet like this and jam it back in your face with air...but Phil Ivey isn't here. Most players r going to play what they have....so if I called with AQ preflop....a C-Bet might prompt me to pitch it in the muck. A raise means we are probably beat. A call means we're up against something. Now we have to start tinking abou possible hands...etc. The C-bet yields plenty of info.

2. It sounds like some are trying to wring out a huge profit on this hand. In a murky situation....there's nothing wrong taking down a small pot.

Again I like the check...bet on the turn because it masks the strength of our hand...and a weaker hand might call. Plus it keeps the pot small if were up against a K.

The C-bet gives us a chance to take it down now...and gives us info on the hand.

Either line will work.
