16$ turbo : JJ

I don't know how I should have played this hand.
Is it a good fold ?
He told me he had AK. I fold since he is the best player on the table and he seems to be a solid player.

I like your play but I call

Pocketbear · #3 07-02-2007, 08:14 AM

Definitely call.

LeChuck · #4 07-02-2007, 08:21 AM

i would fold here too, in my opinion jacks are not enough to call here in the early stage of a sng, no need to gamble here

QQ -> call

If you're going to fold to a push why to reraise then?

LeChuck · #6 07-02-2007, 08:28 AM

oh i forgot to mention, i would just call in this spot

If he's decent he probably does have a fairly strong hand at this blind level.

Given that, if I'm reraising it is with the intention of getting it all in. With position, I'm happy to just call and see what happens.

I raise in order to know where I am. It's a strong raise and he can fold a lot of hands like AJ, AT, A9, KQ, ...
When he push me allin, it's either a coin flip either a bigger pair. I don't want to play my tournament on a coinflip (at best) early, no ?

Maybe my raise-fold was a non-sense but I'm not convinced.
Call is maybe better. But I think that, if I have to play it again, I will do the same thing :-S

as played i would say call against unknown...

maybe fold with specific reads against a regular
