Re: Marginal hand in position
Toss. If it's Jh you're holding, I like callin' a bit better, but you shouldn't have called the flop bet to begin with.
This is more likely to be AK-Ax with Ah than anythin' else, and you can't beat even that. Better PF thought process before limpin', and TPWK isn't what you want to see on flop. |

Re: Marginal hand in position
Raise flop.
Since you didn't, I think we still need to call turn, since this isn't a definite flush, and we would still have at least 6 outs to beat TP/higher kicker (if it's out there), and may have 8 if no flush draw. Basically if you were folding that flop you shouldn't have called pre. If you were folding this turn you shouldn't have called flop. |

Build up the muck pile. You might be getting 2.6:1 for your money, but you're still looking at -ev.

Re: Marginal hand in position
Learn to fold KJo. Seriously.
A while ago my PT showed that to be one of the two MOST EXPENSIVE HANDS in my game, so now I just fold it PF in most situations, and while it may not be the MOST +EV play with the hand sometimes, it is certainly +EV. There ARE of course situations where it does perform well enough, but a multi-way pot with enough chips for some (but not a LOT of) post-flop play is not one of them IMO. |
