    Default J/J facing Re-raise

    Did i play this badly? I just called the $5 bet because it seemed "small".. then when the miracle card hit on the turn - was it wrong to push? Playing is 44/21 w/ 6 agression factor.

    i fold the flop. turn is standard.
  3. #3
    when faced with a 3bet from an unknow when holding J-J, i play my hand for set value.

    Against this opponent (loose and aggressive), a small 4bet is a good plan when OOP. IP calling a raising a non Ace/King high flop is good.

    On an Ace/King high flop... pretend you are holding 5-5 and fold
    (Also, the board was completely suited. An even worse spot for a weak float seeing as you have no diamond!)
