Jacks early in Sunday Million -- Facing big pre-flop raise
This was the 18th hand in today's Sunday Million.
UTG+1 was playing really loose, 70% VP$IP. Very weak player. MP2 had not been involved in many pots, but I felt he was a 'stronger' player. Button was a average player, no specific reads but is already down $500. PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t100 (9 handed) Poker Stars Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com (Format: 2+2 Forums) SB (t7925) Hero (t9900) UTG (t11250) UTG+1 (t10710) MP1 (t7425) MP2 (t9525) MP3 (t16925) CO (t7050) Button (t9290) Preflop: Hero is BB with J[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], J[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]. <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, <font color="#CC3333">UTG+1 raises to t200</font>, <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, MP2 calls t200, <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, CO calls t200, <font color="#CC3333">Button raises to t1250</font>, <font color="#666666">2 folds</font>, Hero folds. It would have cost me $1150 to play, but I felt the button could be 'strong'. Was my play right here and was he playing his AK/AQ strong? |

Is the 215ish buyins not consider Highstakes? Ethier way I'm calling but i'm not familar with anything about 10 dollar buyin's

I'm folding..too big a raise to play for set value..any reraise commits you to the hand..I'm not ready to get it in here w/ JJ

Re: Jacks early in Sunday Million -- Facing big pre-flop raise
I call and see a flop. The reason is that the button, if he is a stronger player is probably iso raising here with a wide range.
Edit I re raise here with JJ against most players. |

No need to commit 10% of your chips without closing the action. UTG+1 could 4-bet (you just said he was loose, not aggressive) forcing you to dump the hand. Even if UTG+1 calls, you have no idea where you are in the hand OOP.
You have a lot of time before the blinds become significant... let it go. |
