Pocket Js

The Troll

How does everyone here play pocket Js when UTG. If you raise how many times the BB do you raise?

Also how do you play it in mid and late position when raised/unraised

Ignore the fact that i havnt specified number of players, type of players, number of callers etc.

UTG - I raise the usual amount, i.e. 3-4x BB,

Late to mid position, same amount of a raise if the pot is folded around, and .5-1 additional BB per limper...

If the pot has already been raised, I flat call, depending on the raiser, if they are very, very tight and I've only seen them raising with QQ+, I'd consider folding.

Flat call with a view to a fold if you don't hit a set on the flop and there is at least one overcard (that someone bets) on the board?

Pretty much, if an over card falls I'm playing tight, it would all depend on my read on the player and what's happened in the past, his propensity to make contuation bets, and how many bullets he fires, the size of this bet, etc. etc.

JJ dirty hand UTG.

I sometimes play with an minimum raise, I find that that often sows the seed of doubt that I have a monster hand. Should an over card come, as generally it does, a continuation bet will most often win the pot.... If a J falls, it can pay dividends as opponents can have you on a higher pair rather that the set.
