Daily Hand Quiz


Game Type: No limit Cash, Full table
Your Image: Tight
Your Hand: J♥J♠

The setup: With five limpers preflop to you in the BB, you made it $6 to go with your Jacks. Player A and Player C called. The flop looked nice enough:

4♥6♦3♦

and you fired $10 into the $21 pot. Player A called and Player C folded. The turn, a 9♠ seemed fairly irrelevant, and you bet $20 into $41. Player A, who has you covered, raises you to $60 total. With the pot at about $120 and about $100 left in your stack, what’s your move?

I dont really like the pf play, being OOP and raising small…nontheless…

Your bets do look weak, but at 1/2 i think your hand range is transparant: TT-JJ or AQ/ AK. (AA-QQ is a bigger raise generally) from the opponents perspective as your tight.

Opponents range looks like 33-99 or a flushdraw. I feel the standard 1/2player will just flat call turn with 77-88 and TT if he puts u on AK, u only have about a 12%shot of sucking out.

I see sets raising to 60 here most of the time and rarely a flushdraw with 1 to go. Against your opponents likely range (without any reads mind u) i think this is a fold. Raising looks like spewing and calling can leave u in a tough spot due to the many scare cards out there: any diamond, 2, 7, T, A (ace high flush draw) etc.
Fold and pick a better spot!
