JJ in first level of $60 SNG

[profitman]

I never usually minraise, but for some reason I decided to on the flop. How do I play the turn and how should I have played the flop.

I re-raise pre to 200. On flop I raise to 400. As played bet turn, you're ahead.

[JSmith2007]

Agree, raise the preflop there. You're almost always ahead and being in position is great for a hand such as JJ. Raise the flop more than a minraise..minraises suck. Bet out 500 on the turn to try and scare him off AK, AQ slowplay is the only hand I'm worried about here, but I doubt he has it.

[profitman]

I bet 400 on the turn and he moved all in.

you can reraise pre, either way as long as youre not only doing one or the other. as played make it 400 or 450 on the flop. as played to the turn get it in.

villain is never folding AQ/KQ here. you get a fold from AK, that's it

Betting turn sucks-- turns our hand into a bluff. Just raise more on the flop or 3pop pre.

88/99/TT/87/A6/AK or random air if he sucks? just because the hand was misplayed doesnt mean his hand is a complete bluff on the turn quite yet.

to clarify, usually the queen isnt much of a scare card, but with the way the hand has played it makes more hands in his range likely to have hit it, but once you bet 400 on the turn you cant fold.

[shooot@04]

Def. reraise pre, your in position and his little raise looks really weak. Again raise on the flop to 450 or 500 and push him off AK-A9. As played, you've put half your stack in there already, almost noway you fold, call the shove

[billybeartku]

I 3bet pre to like 200 and commmit on the flop like this.
As played, I raised to 400-500 and call shove on the flop.

[Dr_Wonderful]

I personally like the smooth call preflop. On the flop I would certainly raise a bit more. Maybe bump it to 450 or so. On the turn I would make a large bet, and most likely be committed to call a push.
