I think i did the right move there since i was already committed to the hand and wasn;t just calling with jacks there since its 5 Handed and im going for the win. I think its too conservative to just Call with Jacks in that Position 5 Handed.. Am i right? some1 give me some input please :).

Happy New Years Btw :)

Hi all,

Raise to 15000 max preflop (I would just minraise). This is a pretty huge point because you should be stealing the blinds fairly often in position here when they are so large and at the same time you're making a huge mistake if you're raising large.

Once you get 3bet preflop, you should be push or folding. If you're going for the win pushing is always going to be better, JJ 5handed with so few big blinds is such a great hand.
