UTG calls 60, MP calls 60, CO calls 60, BTN folds, SB calls 30, Hero raises to 400, 2 folds, CO raises to 1,355 and is All-In, SB folds, Hero calls 955

Flop: (2,890) Q♦ T♥ 4♠ (2 Players - 1 is All-In)

Turn: (2,890) 9♣ (2 Players - 1 is All-In)

River: (2,890) 7♠ (2 Players - 1 is All-In)

Results: 2,890 Pot
Hero showed J♣ J♠ (a pair of Jacks) and WON 2,890 (+1,535 NET)
CO showed T♠ J♦ (a pair of Tens) and LOST (-1,355 NET)

I guess calling the raise was OK, because limping, then reraising is a weird thing, not something someone would do with AA,KK,QQ on these limits.

I check preflop and play for setvalue/overpair value. It might be a bit on the weak side... but I dont like raising it and playing for a big pot OOP.

Raising is OK aswell.. but you will often get in tough situations postflop.

As played I'm definatly calling the shove from CO.

there is always a bigger fish

I raise this... no tough post flop spots...

if anyone calls (cept sb that should probably never call) they'll have around 800 stack in 1k pot or something... so it's a pretty easy shove for you on most boards

I think playing for set value is kinda weak here...

as played easy call

ahhh missed the UTG big stack....

maan I don't know I'm too tired to think about jacks atm

Hi all,

Preflop I raise to 420. Checking is too weak IMO at this limit. If the bigstack calls you and the flop is ugly we can always bet/fold..

As played we can call CO's shove easily. When someone limps behind then shoves over a raise it tells you two things:

1. they're a retard.
2. they will never have a hand there.
