JJ UTG no reads at all.

Results 1 to 7 of 7
  1. #1

    Default JJ UTG no reads at all.

    No reads on the other player since this was the 3rd or 4th hand of the tournament. I know I played this not very good, but I'd really like someone else to look at this from an outside perspective.

    To me this villain's range is large, I thought at this level he would call flop with any ace/king/queen,pair and most high cards.

    I cbet flop (should it be bigger?), slow down on turn and check call river. I really didn't notice the flush possibility being a little married to my hand.

    Bet flop bigger imo. AA,KK,QQ & AK are definately in his range as well as suited connectors and gappers so I think if you bet bigger and he calls all you can do is check it down.
    But I'm a donk so wat does I know?

    I would prefer to bet the turn again considering the c/c on the flop and drop it after that. no way I'm calling that river, what is he betting with that u beat?
    imo jacks in early position early in a tourny isn't really a great hand, I raise less pre-flop, 3-4 BB

    Wow I must have thought the blinds were 15/30 or something like that as I would usually raise 4BB UTG, mistake number one not paying attention.

    Also I think your right about his range, what is he going to bet the river with that I can beat, only thing I beat is a bluff. Got to work on laying down big PP's on nasty boards. Thanks' for the comments.

    Early with stacks deep I may limp in from UTG. If someone raises I'll flat call hoping for a set. All you got here is a pair not enough to get all your chips in. The board is horrible for your hand here. 3 clubs and an over card.cbet 1/2 to 2/3 the pot and fold to ant futher action. or just check/fold save your chips for when your in position.

    river I think you can just save the 200, this is easily the worst card in the deck. "not noticing" the board is a gigantic leak much worse than 6x pre which for a beginner in a micro is just fine with me.
