    Default played JJ like 22, yuck

    No reads here...what's your play in this spot pf and flop, and plan for turn?

    I felt like the king of weak-tightness, but was camping these FR tables to finish off a bonus.

    I think you have to re-raise this pre-flop and gamb00l with the 60bb stack.

    The full-buy probably has some implied odds thingy.
    Who-the-hell-knows what the other shortie is up to.

    I make it $12 and I won't feel too bad about playing a $120 pot on this flop with JJ.

    That does seem better, thanks. If I had/used more time to focus and plan everything I'd have played this more aggressive like that. It is definitely a gamble with UTG+1 since I have no read on him, but like you wrote, I'm usually way ahead of the other 2 in the pot pre flop.

    I would without a read...I mean it isn't an uber short stack, and isn't that too often a line for a monster pre flop hand?

    It's either play it this way (which I thought was fine) or else re-pop it and gambool it up if he pushes. Personally JJ and even QQ to some extent I don't like the flips with 60+ BB.
