    Default Trip JAcks Weak Kicker

    Party Poker
    No Limit Holdem Ring game
    Blinds: $0.10/$0.25
    9 players
    Converter

    Stack sizes:
    UTG: $5.14
    UTG+1: $3.25
    MP1: $46.14
    MP2: $34.04
    MP3: $54.36
    CO: $23.80
    Button: $11.18
    SB: $6.15
    MasterOfSoresu: $27.45

    Pre-flop: (9 players) Hero is BB with :6h :jd
    2 folds, MP1 calls $0.25 (pot was $0.35), MP2 folds, MP3 calls $0.25 (pot was $0.6), CO folds, Button raises to $0.5, SB folds, Hero calls $0.25 (pot was $1.35), MP1 calls $0.25 (pot was $1.6), MP3 calls $0.25 (pot was $1.85).

    Flop: :js :ad :3d ($2.1, 4 players)
    Hero checks, MP1 checks, MP3 checks, Button checks.

    I was waiting to hit fold but noone bet.

    Turn: :jh ($2.1, 4 players)
    Hero bets $1.35, MP1 calls $1.35 (pot was $3.45), MP3 raises to $2.7, Button folds, Hero raises to $6, MP1 folds, MP3 calls $3.3 (pot was $10.8).

    VIllain had raised in the past numerous time with far weakjer holdings and stolen much larger pots.I decide to reraise for info with one goal in mind-IF he raises or pushes I fold no questions asked.He decides to call.

    River: :8h ($15.45, 2 players)
    Hero bets $7, MP3 calls $7 (pot was $22.45).

    At this point I am concerned.But I can;t just min bet because that gives himn the green flag to bluff raise me.I decide on a little less than half the pot;maybe if he suspects a boat I can get him to lay down a stronger kicker.For the times I'm ahead maybe I'll break even.

    Results:
    Final pot: $29.45

    Thoughts and feedback welcome on all streets.

    Never read any stickies or announcements
    fold preflop.. there's just no reason to play some trash like J6o to a raise OOP, despite the great price you are getting.

    flop standard

    turn when you start 'REraising for info', there's a problem. I would just call his raise. And play cautiously from then on out. Your preflop call is hopeless by the way, and the situation you are in right now highlights this very well.

    Villain flipped over KJo for the better kicker.He called in MP with one limper.

    Oh well;he was a dream opponent limping in every hand.
