This is a thinly disguised bad beat story.

Its a bad call pre. You would have to assume winning all of V's stack almost 100% of the time you flop a set with zero chance V ever flops over set to make this call.

Feel free to format your hands to make them easier to visualize. Usually it's best to indicate stack sizes and holdings before the hand. Include any reads on villains if you have 'em.

Anyways you want better implied odds to set mine. The odds of flopping a set alone are 7.5:1 You also need to take into account times that your set doesn't hold up (especially when it's the smallest set) or you're not able to extract more $ later. When you're just learning you can use ~15:1 implied odds "rule" to give you the greenlight to setmine. You can go a bit lower vs aggro maniacs since they'll pay off lighter more often and higher vs better players that can fold overpairs postflop. Anyways, using 15:1 as our guide, since we're not $1500 effective or more, this is a snap fold preflop. In fact for a lot of good players, this is an open fold pre-flop from EP. Most people I know who do open 22-66 from EP profitably are far above average and usually sit much deeper than average 5/1/2 games. They'll know exactly why they're taking a risk with a hand that has terrible post flop playability out of position.

tl;dr: fold pre.

I just looked up their BBJ rules. Quad J's is the min hand. Sucks to be OP.



But it would qualify for a mini jackpot worth 10%

I was'nt in the hand by the way.I only witnessed it.I did'nt think it was a good call for only two outs.And by the way,I tried to Format it like that But it would'nt let me.

For the love of God, use the space bar.

Hollywood Columbus is my home casino. They've completely done away with the BBJ in order to run more smaller promos on a daily basis.

As for OP, just no way we're getting the right odds to call and set mine here.

Sounds like the games are good in Columbus.
