NL100: JJ with 165BB, playing scared?

Van Strummer · #1 08-31-2006, 02:32 PM

After bad downswing I am not playing very well. This is very weak. Villain is 55/33/4. Were do I play more aggressive?

I don't hate the way you played this. With a player that aggress

ive you may re-raise again pre-flop, since you dont want to play JJ out of position against a very aggressive player.
This smells of AK or middle pocket pair, you have the best hand but there is really no reason to bet the river.

I guess it's fine.

You called a pretty big preflop raise with a very difficult hand. I think it's ok to fold it. I don't mind your call given the villain's stats.

In order to control the size of the pot, you can lead weak on the turn.
