Thats a tough one. I experience it almost every day on PP but it always evens out in the end so its all good.

wow. i know it happens all the time, but what could that person have possibly been thinking. usually i can at least get an idea of what the other peson might have been thinking about, but postflop i see virtually no way to call that hand.

tough luck. im sure that person paid you off later though.

Terrible. I've gotten really bad beats lately - usually at the Jackpot tables, because people will stay in with ANYTHING. And, people do hit their 2-3 outers - who knows what they are thinking.

Here's one from last night.

JJ/button. Pre-flop raise in a SnG 4x BB, BB calls w/ Q2o, hits his Q on the river. Board was all low-cards, and I was pounding. Terrible.

Boy oh boy do I hate JJ. 12 cards to hit the flop and kill them. I absolutely never win with this hand, so unless I hit trips, I'm likely out before the hands are shown.

Yesterday, in a $.5-$1 NL HE game, my pocket Qs were taken down by someone holding J10 suited after calling my pre-flop raise to $10 and my turn bet of $10. Reloaded and won it back with pocket As later on.

Default Jacks - the hardest hand of all?

Anybody read Jackpot Jay on ESPN.com? I'm not a big fan, but thought his comments on pocket Jacks were interesting.

He writes ...

The hardest hand for me to play with any comfort is J-J. No move really makes any sense. A small raise is probably the worst play. If you get any callers and overcards come on the flop, you are probably in trouble and definitely feeling insecure. A large raise, designed to win the pot right then and there, might work -- but if that's your philosophy, why not make a large raise with any two cards and try to win the pot right then and there? What are you really hoping for? That a guy with 10-10 will call? The safest and most logical play is to treat J-J like a small pair -- try to see the flop as cheaply as possible, and hope you flop a set. This doesn't seem quite right to me, either, because J-J is the fifth-best starting hand you can have; and it seems, logically, like you should be able to do more with it than with, say, 3-3.

All I can think of is that he was planning on trying to bluff you off the pot if a heart came...and when he hit his pair on the turn he was just sucked in even more....cant get too pissed though, guys like that you rich over time

this is 0.5/1 on party... there arent many players who think that much about plays. calling 6 is planning to DRAW TO A BLUFF is one of the worst plays ive ever heard of. whats this guy's sn? i hope you wrote it down.
