Tournament Tactic Question

[sobefuddled]

You are in the BB and you get a JJ. The table has folded around to the sb who posts the min bet. How do you play it?

Stack sizes, blinds, reads, and how many players left/players started please.

[sobefuddled]

Oooops Sorry. Opening salvo (very first hand) for 2.20 buy-in PS NL Hold'em tourney. 9 players at table. I'm BB with JJ (HD).

It depends on my mood. Either check or raise 4x and, if he folds, show.

I never check here.

Gee, I was sure I posted this but it's not showing so...
1. I can't base a tactic on my mood. In my case that would be very dangerous.
2. I can agree I would never fold here. That's a start....
3. I can now say that I doubt very much I will ever again raise here. I do believe I will check. I get the impression that players at this level think you ought to let the SB play for a min bet if he's kind enough not to jam. In this case i put up a 3X's bb bet and sb pushed all-in. I suspected he had nothing. I called. He showed 4-6 diamonds. The board favored him with 3 diamonds. Lesson learned. I check or jam. Since it's a tournament, it's the first hand and i want to win the darned thing, I check from now on. What do you think?

Go for it, if you want to be a results oriented losing player.

You got your money in with the best of it and (surprise) you lost and posted about it! What does this have to do with being a tournament tactic? It's just a bad beat post.

I think you're wrong, and extremely results-oriented.

[betgo]

Your name is very appropriate.
