Sorry for not using the hand converter. Nothing was running at the time, and I don't remember all of the details exactly.
Hand 1:
I just doubled up, and I've hit a enough playable hands to be labeled as a TAG.
The guy before me sits in MP+2 and I'm pretty sure he is a SSS.
I hold JJ and he makes a standard raise after 2 limpers. There are now 9.5 bbs in the pot, 6 from his raise and 3.5 from limpers and blinds.
I have 28 bbs.
What I reasoned was that this is a push or fold scenario. After a flat call, he will always cbet and I am 9:1 to hit a Jack. Also, a Q, K, or A will hit the flop about half the time I think. So I cannot flatcall.
A fold means I invest nothing in the pot.
A push means that I risk 28 bbs to win 9.5 bbs, however I know he is a SSS and his stack to amount raised ratio means he will call with any holding he raised with (unless his raise was tilty, but he had been playing pretty solid on about 4 tables). So there is no fold equity.
I know my chances after a push are about 50.2%, however Titan takes a rake of the pot, and I'm not sure how the limpers affect my play.
I folded.
Hand 2:
I just doubled up with JJ vs AQ in UTG+1 position.
I am now in UTG position with the same hand, JJ, with $3.00, or 30 bbs.
After a raise, if I am reraised, I think I have to fold based on how tight the table is.
I didn't think that raising to 4 bbs with a marginal holding UTG was good, so I folded. I was prepared to fold after a reraise behind me, and thanks to that, I was also ready to simply fold preflop. I did not consider the factor of possible flatcalls behind me. Ever since joining the table, all UTG raises were either reraised or folded to all around.
This may have been a bad play, because this was the last of my 12 tables to finish up after my first upswing in a very long time.
I folded.
Thoughts?
