    What do you do here? Do you lay down JJ here? Seems like a monster to me? I got no problem calling this here just curious as to everyone elses play in this position right b4 the bubble

    I lay it. I don't think he's raising 22-TT like that utg,reads? So you're up against JJ or QQ and flipping with AJs+
    Success is how high you bounce after hitting bottom.

    Preflop he could have high cards, but I think his coming over the top of your flop bet eliminates that possibility. Possibly 99-TT, but more likely QQ-AA. You still got a pretty healthy stack and blinds are low, so I say let it go.

    This is the kind of flop where you're really not looking for a whole lot of trouble. ph33r the UTG raise.

    I think he's a little better than a flip against high cards.

    If you noticed I said AJs+. against AJs he's 55/45 dog, against Aks/AQs its 62/38. against Ako/AQo its 60/40 in his favor. so he's flipping if the range is right.

    I think you want to push this preflop.
    Flop... yikes.... AXs has alot of outs... but he could have anything here, including air or even a straight (utg semi-steal with A2). I think you have to call after you put in 1K.... you are getting ~2:1.

    You mean s=spades rather than s=suited? I suppose, but I'm more ready to put him on a higher pocket pair.

    Well thanks for the imput... turns out I called like i said i would, he flipped 22 and hit his draw 6 on the river...

    Thanks jokerstars


    thanks for the advice i think most situations next time I either push this preflop or lay it down to a flop bet like this...
