| My biggest mistake that I make I would say 80% of the time when I get knocked out its because my PP isnt as big as the person that knocks me out. How do I get away from making a play like this Late in tourney blinds are 200-400 and we both have 2500 chips "I have position" Me: JJ Sb raises to 800 and I call Flop 2-6-7 rainbow He goes all-in, I call he has AA |

| Actually, if I'm the bb w JJ and the sb open raises into me, where my M is 4 (M is a represntation of how many orbits it'll take me to blind out if I do nothing but fold - here, if you continuously fold, you're only going to last 4 orbits), I'm shoving all in preflop. Definite cooler if he's got AA as JohnnyFronts says. Try searching for "ICM" and Harrington (Dan Harrington describes M and suggests different strategies based on what your M is). |

| re: My biggest mistake that I make poker It's not a 'mistake'.... you are super short & you have a premium hand....especially in BvB play it's a no brainer (any pos. really). As they say... 'that's poker'. (.... I'd be getting it in alot lighter here than JJ). |

| yeah, more times than you would expect pocket aces lose... i like to bet at least 1/4 chip stack when you have the pocket jj, qq, kk, or aa, and then see from there. obviously if somebody has higher pockets there is nothing you can do but most of the time chances are pocket queens or better has their opponets whole cards beat. |

| re: My biggest mistake that I make poker Not sure there's much you could do about it. Clearly you would have been much better off had an A, K or Q come on the flop. I don't think you could realistically have folded after he went all-in. I would have hoped he had top pair with an A kicker and that I was hoping my JJ would hold up - happens to me all the time. Seeing the overpair is always painful, but everyone but the last guy standing goes out eventually, quite often just like that. |

| this thread is only really meaningful up to about post #6, Likminutz's. After that I would have thought it is made mostly for spamming reasons, but this post below made me LOL. Quote:

| you call off nearly 1/3 of your stack. I just don't see folding after that call here on any flop. you got to figure the JJ rates to be the best hand here. and there are many flops that you really don't want to see. any ace or king may make if tough for you to put more chips in the pot(although it shouldnt) it may kill any more chips going in from the raiser holding hands you got beat. so i agree here its best to get it in preflop. you atleast gain some fold equity against hands that maybe a flip like AJ or KQ. for sure this is a cooler though. |
