Re: Playing JJ Question
Not really a good spot to flat call preflop.

Re: Playing JJ Question
Shove pre, looks like you lost a flip versus AK and whatever the BB had. I think you probably are getting good odds shoving with JJ here. Both players show up with smaller pairs a lot/AK/AQ/AJ even. 40bb I am ok getting in with JJ.

Re: Playing JJ Question
Yeah flatting preflop is kinda ****ty. Also dont raise so much, just make it like 600 so you can find it easier to fold if want to. Stats on villian would be helpful here. But i think against an unknown i would fold. Your flipping here only a small % of the time and the rest of the time i expect he shows up with AA, KK, QQ.

Nismo are we really thinking any unknowns are so tight that they only 3bet with AA/KK/QQ? I'd say a lot more pairs and broadway aces are in the range than you are giving credit. The range you gave is for a complete nit

Re: Playing JJ Question
Yeah ide shove or fold pre flop, dont want to be put in an awkward spot post flop when a overcard comes.

Re: Playing JJ Question
You're not really calling to go set-mining are you? Having to play post-flop with so little left behind is a no-no. Either fold pre-flop when you get 3-bet and shoved on, or re-shove.

Re: Playing JJ Question
get it in preflop, or if you played it the way you did get value on flop
