    Default Isolating with JJ

    CO respectable so far. Button was an idiot I was trying to isolate. Then CO minraises me.

    1) Clear cut fold? Getting over 5:1 do you call and fold a non J board?
    2) Would a smaller raise to isolate be just as effective and give me a little room to play.


    Ultimate Bet No-Limit Hold'em, $1 BB (6 handed) Ultimate-Bet Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com (Format: FlopTurnRiver)

    Hero ($98.50)
    BB ($175.45)
    UTG ($258.60)
    MP ($154.80)
    CO ($191.10)
    Button ($24.50)

    Preflop: Hero is SB with J, J.
    1 fold, CO raises to $3.5, Button raises to $12, Hero raises to $30.5, 1 fold, CO raises to $49, Button calls $12.50 (All-In), Hero ????

    You said he was respectable so I would fold. Against someone who is less good I would just shove.

    Call and hope for a J or a all unders flop. You are getting 5.6:1. You only need 8:1 here for set hunting to be purely BE.

    If you think you can win any other way or check it down sometimes, call. Otherwise it is a sad fold.
    Will CO ever do this with 99? AK?
    Playing live . . . thanks alot Bin Laden.

    I really dont like cold 4betting here if we arent going to get all in. If we dont want to get AI, either call or fold. A call is going to be incredibly transparent, and a fold kinda sucks. What do people think of a shove here [assuming we will vary it if we think our opponent is observant enough with something like a4s]?
