    Default 5.5 @ Stars -- early laydown...bad move?

    Obviously, I wish I knew that the turn card was going to hit my pocket pair...but, was I stupid to lay down my jacks here?

    Thanks for your opinions.

    Best,
    EW

    I would probably assume i'm way behind here. i.e. not even sure my jack is good if i catch it.

    Raise more preflop. If you are raising in lvl 1 of an SNG, raise at least 5x the BB. Some people add 1 BB for every limper as well. This will limit the field and help you put your opponents on more of a range.

    ilow888 is probably leading a draw/pair into you to push you off something like AK/AQ/KQ.

    heeler7 has at least one card that hit the board at this level.

    I bump it to 100 pre-flop then push and gamble it up here.

    Ummm... I care about neither.

    I want to build a big pot to punish dogshit cards for seeing a flop and then make it correct when I play my hand really fast post-flop.

    I don't give him credit for more than 76 here.
    Playing big pots at small stakes.

    Im limping JJ with these blinds hunting for set or flop like this.

    With flop action I raise it up. Except now its push or fold coz of the size of villians bet.
    At this buyin im pushing.
