I believe I was in middle position with the JJ.<BR/><BR/>On this particular hand, it might have worked. The flop came all unders to my jacks. If I shove then, I might get a fold. <BR/><BR/>Of course, calling might have let in later position players with suited connectors or small pairs, and they could have hit the flop harder than my overpair as well.matt taghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08082969194551315973noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-803565406050693453.post-9951588995942349102008-12-09T10:08:00.000-05:002008-12-09T10:08:00.000-05:00With the JJ hand: Did you consider just calling? ...With the JJ hand: Did you consider just calling? There isn't much info on blinds levels or number of players,etc. I find that sometimes with middle pairs up to QQ, especially against players I think I can outplay or players that tend to underestimate my play, that calling and then outplaying them after the flop can be very rewarding at times. Also, if an A or K hits the flop you can probably get away from the hand and live to fight on; if one doesn't hit the flop, the player normally is more willing to fold to a bet or make a bad call. Good luck!<BR/><BR/>BumsteadAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
