One question before I get going: was the flop reraise too much? basically took my bet from $0.60 to $3.60 - looking back it seems like I overdid it - minraising is just so donkey to me this probably threw me off - and it was late - I think $1.50 - $2 would have done the 'information gathering' trick.
An interesting point you have made Pat.
I was originally posting this as a 'what not to do' thread.
Here's why:
(1) I got a bit too married to this crappy BB hand - it's 10c garbage I wouldn't have even played otherwise and shouldn't care to0 much to win with - I was trying to just take it at the flop (kinda stupid as this is not likely given my position), or get called by QJ/KJ/JT - probably what EP1 had.
(2) I bet for information, got that information, and then didn't act on it. Sure I've got outs, but you don't call allin
with outs on a cash table unless it's a lot of people allin,
and/or you have so many outs that you are a favorite to win.
Now - the reasons I made the play that I did:
(1) I was only up a buck or so at this table in 30 mins and hadn't had a hand in the last 20 - in other words, I was impatient - slap my hand.
(2) I have been a bit corrupted of late playing at the $0.05/$0.10 tables and being in a similar situation where the guy turned up a worse hand.
(3) I was about 50% sure that the guy had deuces - other 50% Jx with J2s the most likely.
I guess I'm calling around $6 into a $12 pot with a 50% chance to win based on my view of what he has and at worst case a ~17% chance to win if he's got deuces.
Results:
Hero calls $5.61 allin (we had about the same amount at the time)
Hero shows 2 pair Jacks and Fives
MP2 shows 3 of a kind deuces
Hero nearly loses his stack, and leaves the table for bed after this hand

Two pair is never the nuts part deux
