2/4 JJ oop almost every step is questionable

[PunchyPlay]

Just sat down at this table so no stats/reads as of yet. Felt really unconfident of my play here with JJ so wanted to know what different lines you might take. All the ones I can think of seem to put you in an uncomfortable position. Some other ones I use are reraising pre-flop, check raising the flop, checking the turn and/or river to see what he does and going from there. From his river push I'm just going to assume he had the flush in this hand. Anyways, what do you guys do?

reraise pf... or for sure make some sort of move on the flop.. you really don't define your hand well by playing it so weak and it makes the hand harder to play...imo

Yeah re-raise pre, 4th best hand in the game man. I'd c/r this flop, its drawy and if you get the turn and he has the moxy to raise it its an easy fold.

Play JJ more agro early and you'll find it easier. Its a monster hand, dont forget that, it will win.

Thanks guys, I think if I was playing my normal limit (1/2) I rr this but decided to play it weak, guess this just highlights why weak play sucks [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]
