pocket jacks - poll

[vanitas]

Here's a situation I have discussed quite a bit with some friends, and just for the sake if it I'd like to have a somewhat more representative idea:

You hold pocket jacks and raise preflop in MP. An EP reraises and you call. The Flop hits A,T,4, three different suits, and the EP comes out betting.

[sweetjazz]

Is this limit or no limit? The EP player limped and then reraised before the flop? What do we know about the EP player?

[vanitas]

Suppose it's limit. Yes, EP limped, you raise, he reraises, you call. Let's say you don't have too much of a read on him, but suppose he's an typical player, rather strong, rather tight and a mixes things up.

Wow 26 people so far voted fold. No wonder I suck at LHE, I'm raising here (Folding to a RR, Betting out on the turn/calling/Folding to a CR (unless a K/Q Falls, then I'm check/folding), check/calling the river).

I have a very strong opinion that pocket jacks were sent to earth by Satan to torment poker players for gambling....if its a sin? or they just really f**king suck. I'll fold pocket jacks to a lot of action pf, in this situation, Id probably raise to see where I was, and if rr, fold...or call, and see the turn at least....geez, this post makes no sense.

My initial reaction was call and see what happens on the turn. A C/R preflop in limit... AK doesn't seem likely because that would have been R/C. AA or KK seem possible, I am leaning towards AA between the two. QQ, again, I don't see the reraise. TT- 22, I don't see it happening like this. I'm leaning towards mucking it now with this new info. If you have a read and you think it's KK, then reraise and try and push him off (although limit makes it harder to do that).

Limit - I would call and probably fold to a turn bet
No Limit - Fold, fold, FOLD!

Agree. I voted fold because I thought it was NL.

This is a tough question. Why did EP limp-reraise?
I would raise normally, but a limp-reraise PF? i guess fold...

Seeing that ace is going to make me wait for another flop to bet my hooks.
