[Closed] Very hard to play JJ...what am I doing wrong?

It all looks good to me. Just extreme bad luck. You're only likely to flop an undeset only once in about 5k hands (I can't remember the exact no.).

Hi Timor83!

First of all: Please post the stacksizes. That helps a lot while analyzing NL hands. In addition: please don't post any results. The hand evaluations could be biased.

Ok, here we go

Hand 1) I would bet the flop. There are straight and flushdraws possible and don't want to see another spade or face card. Turn call is ok but on the river I would check/call because you get more value from bluffs.

Hand 2) Your raise on the flop is too small. You are giving your opponent the odds he needs to draw you out. Turn play is ok. But you can fold the river. There are not many hands you are beating and he overbets the pot.

Hand 3) Preflop: Just call the minraise from SB and don't minraise him back. Flopplay is fine.

Hand 4) Nice hand!

Hand 5) Your raise is too small. Put him all-in directly if he is short-stacked. There are too many draws out there. Your minraise gives him the odds for every draw.

Conclusion: I think you should work on your flopplay. Your raises are way too small and give your opponents great odds.

Good luck at the tables!

Ok, thanks for your advice. I'm starting to get a hand of this NL-thing, but indeed, my post-flop play needs improvement. I've posted the hands again but this time with stack sizes. If there's anything that changes the advice you gave with these stack sizes, let me know. Thanks

Thanks Timor83!

I think in this case except from hand 5 that doesn't change anything. But it can be very important in some spots. That's why I think it's better to post the stack sizes, too. In hand 5 I would put him all-in directly on the flop.

Good luck at the tables!
