blinds are .1 .2 cut off limps, i limp on the button with j8off.
sb completes bb raises to .90
i know nothing about the table other than sb is pretty sticky. cuttoff folds and i call (cringe) and sb calls
flop comes 822 rainbow and is 2.90
bb cbets 1.55
i jam over the top with 7.88 stack
sb folds
bb calls and turns over 99
of course I rivered the 8 which set him off into super mega monkey tilt but the only thing i can justify my jam with is that i was thinking he's gotta be showing up with or folding ak here at least a third of the time surely.
Roast my play my fellow poker enthusiasts because i need to hear this.
Thanks in advance for the replies
Hey, first off, why no top off? If you were down to like $4 or less, this would be okay (you could play jam or fold), but 39 bb is an awkward stack. You might as well top off. If you aren't comfortable topping off, I'd suggest playing lower.
Secondly, limping J8o is a poor play. If you do the simulations out (you can for free at
http://propokertools.com/simulations), you'd see that J8o is a very bad hand preflop. If you're going to play this hand, you'd be best off raising it and playing like you have a good hand.
As played, you don't want to be calling a raise with this. Even in position. You could easily flop a dominated hand and lose a lot of money, and there's not a lot of upside.
As played, going all in on the flop is also a bad play. This is a spaz, as Lex Veldhuis may say, because what hands are you making money against on this board? AK, AQ, AJ, AT, KQ, KJ, QJ, that sort of thing. What happens when you make this shove? They all fold. So you get all in with hands crushing you.
