25nl: A little lost with JJ

Dunkman · #1 05-08-2007, 02:41 AM

So here's a bit about me. Up until the UIGEA I was playing 50nl and had recently moved to 100nl. Long story short, I lost quite a bit to neteller, and pulled the rest save $800 which I left in stars, and didn't play much save the occasional tourney. A couple weeks ago I started back playing 25 nl, and was up about 8 buyins until the last 2 days, which I've dropped 5. Maybe it's variance, but I also think I'm not playing well, so time to post some hands.

Not much of a read, had about 20 hands on villain, he was 20/15/6...seemed solid but I just hadn't seen much from him. I have always disliked JJ anyway, and I'm really torn as to how to play this.

Tough spot... Given his stats and stack sizes, I'd shove. If he calls you're going to be a coin-flip at best and drawing to 2 outs at worst. I just see this villain betting with anything here.

Interested to hear some other opinions on this one.

I'd call this and reeval.. You are likely behind at this point, QQ+, AK with a club is a small favorite against you. His 3-betting range may be a bit wider from the the sb, so let's see what he does on the turn.

Entropy4 · #4 05-08-2007, 03:04 AM

I disagree, given your stack size you either shove or fold flop. Without fold equity your hand has little value here.

ah duh didnt see his stack size. I think this is probably a fold.

I would definitely agree if I was in earlier position, but you don't think me opening on the button loosens his range past QQ+ and AK? I'm honestly asking, I'm really not used to how these games play yet.

raise to about 14-18, he may be doing this with Ax with a ace of club. If he comes over the top its a judgement call, prob a Slightly ahead, way behind situation.

Anybody else 4-bet this pf? Your opening range is obv. huge and if he's decent he knows this. Plus his 3-bet seems a little weak.

Call. Hope for a blank. Bet if he checks. Get it in if he bets turn. This guy seems aggro enough for that to be okay.

yup i think this might be a good idea. 4-betting solves a lot of problems postflop but u need to have a good idea of where ur opponent is at
