Pre Flop: (t75) Hero is UTG with J :heart: J :club:
Hero calls t50, 3 folds, MP2 calls t50, 3 folds, BB raises to t100, Hero calls t50, MP2 calls t50

Flop: (t325) 6 :spade: 4 :club: 2 :diamond: (3 players)
BB bets t150.00, Hero raises to t412, MP2 folds, BB folds

I don't really like how i played this hand. I don't really like raise/folding it. Or if I get called and see some overcards and then i have to fold, so I'm basically set mining.

Is this horribad? Should i just be raising it? Tens also? Would TT be played this way?

I would raise 99+ from utg FR - you can drop 99 and TT you do not feel comfortable with it, but JJ is just too strong to only set mine with.

Also generally speaking about set mining you should not limp from early position with pretty shallow stack sizes(you don't have too good implied odds - only 24BB deep), and there is too great chance that someone raises behind you.Hope that makes sense.


It makes a lot of sense. I used to raise 99+ but I've watched some 18 man coaching and the coach said we should be limping up till JJ utg for set mining. Now i am not sure if he also suggests set mining at these stack sizes.

However thank you very much for your feedback and i will revert back to raising 99+.

I respectfully disagree entirely with what that coach says.

Elaborate Chenny? or Are you being sarcastic as u were the coach? Lol

Also, @ Either Chenny or Gavron - the play with JJ here is Raise/Call AI, yes/no??
I think i'm calling it off with JJ + 23BBs

Nah I wasn't the coach, I would raise 99 or 88+ UTG in 18man tourneys, FR. I stack off with JJ but it's position dependent and kinda close also.
