Big$27 - should we jam OTT? - Page 2 - MTT Poker Strategy

Lets see....I asked how you are going to make money with J6s and you deflect because you just don't know how you're going to make money with it.

If you were to ask me the same question about 96s I would reply

Quote:

well I can make straights, flop combo draws, flop straight draws, and some stuff with back door straights/flush. On favorable boards I can apply pressure / go for value against people with ranges that contain overcards and overpairs.

Now obviously 96s isn't that great of a hand but at least I know how I'm going to make money with it when I do play it.

So how are you going to make money with J6s again?

J6s can flop the fd and/or top/medium pair with a weak kicker. I am going to check/call otf in these scenarios and re-evaluate ott.

Top/med pair w/weak kicker doesn't make you much money against a tight EP opening range.

Straights and straight draws do.

"I guess you're right, J6 just doesn't play that well post flop against an EP range"

You come here asking for advice and numerous people are telling you that it's a bad play but yet you still object and think it's fine.

If you think it's fine and have your reasons for playing it than don't let us stop you.
