@sickfade: you were Seat 6?
At micro and mini-stakes, I've found that even on hands where I might be ahead in later streets because an opponent paired, it is so difficult to win with a high card in the door because often opponents can often apply too much pressure, that I think even trying to play them with lower cards yet to act is -EV. Maybe you got some advanced skills that I don't know about though.
1. It is possible, but not against the range of Js a good reg (yeah) calls there (even on tilt, leave dead cards aside). I see no card above 6 in his range beside the J calling there.
2. Im 100% sure Jones would have bet out 5 there, c/r was an option, i thought about quite a time after and while playin the hand. I came to the point that A the other loose donk will call often, B i dont make my hand face up, C I "risk" one bet to get in two others instead of pulling the donk off and make it 2 bets "risking" for another 2 bets, i kinda maximise my implied odds with not making my hand face up, the pot is that big i will called anyway later, good regs wont pay me ff when i c/r 5th there with much hand on 6th/7th... and E JJ will often chase again when he draws out.
3. @me you would have got a quick yes, otherwise do u think he speakes as "me" and talks of the dealer? lol
4. Depends, dont forget your huge implieds vs pressure-liking-opps. Good players adapt with much pressure, too. Its hard to adapt that and every scary card of the chaser is in his range for pairing holecards most of the time.
5. yes
6. i think the most important things in such jam hands is the factor how weak-loose your opps are/ what very big mistakes they make later, though you could reduce the reduction of -EV of his later mistakes with not jamming the pot early.
6 ****ing excuse my english
