Default Re: JJ in big

I'd raise pre.

I'd call this bet on the flop, folding to further action on the flop, check/folding the turn, and checking/reevaluating the river if the turn checks through (unless the pot is multi-way after the flop in which case I'm check/folding turn + river).

I think betting the flop is bad.

my line would be raise pre, c/c flop.

As played, c/c flop is good. The guy is on the button and can bet anything here. Fold when he bets again on the turn, mostly.

I play it the same on both streets. I'm playing JJ for set value at this level and we missed. Easy fold. More chips in play, not so easy.

JJ is way too strong a hand to play for set value, IMHO, which is why you raise pre to either get it heads up or take it down alltogether.

[/ QUOTE ] I agree.

In checking preflop your asking to be in a crappy spot on the flop.
