Playing big draw with suited one-gappers - Page 2 - Live Low-stakes No Limit Poker Forum

Call preflop any day of the week. 4:1 expressed odds, in position, 2.5% of effective stacks vs. PF raiser. If there's ever a time to play J9s this is it.

Never folding once I hit this flop.

The X:1 pre flop matters to me because I would not call if there were not other callers. (The stack sizes matter, of course.) Is that not correct?

I was going to write almost exactly this.

I also like the flop raise- the initial bet looks weak

Here's a really good thread on this topic. One of the best posters itt even mentions J9s.

Getting a top 10% flop for your hand that then gives you the right to bluff off your stack isn't profitable poker.

Flop is a good spot for a semi-bluff raise if you think Villain is capable of cbetting a pair less than Kx...especially if you have ever seen him cbet bluff in the past. If he is one of the relatively few players who doesn't ever cbet without TP+, then just overcall the flop cbet.

As far as preflop discussion goes, this is a very profitable overcall with J9dd on BTN at these stack sizes, and I think you would be giving up lots of EV if you folded preflop.
