[ ] terrible beat

gg anyway

Tough luck... But, honestly, your open-limp 5-handed with JTs is worse than the beat you took.

[onnel]

Not to veer off in to strategy land, but what would you recommend with JTs in such a place?

I was leery of raising for fear that someone (specifically the villain who has been aggressive) would push or reraise over me.

I suppose with these stack sizes folding a 3 BB bet isn't the end of the world?

I suppose I'll post the hand over in strategy so that I may be duly educated.

Thanks all!

How about we never open limp and fold instead rather than limping and losing your entire stack making big calls vs ranges you have 0 idea against?


Better way to play JTs, no?
