fold pre

wouldn't be playing for stacks either with that connected flop and you being on the idiot end of it. AJ is snap calling , Jx has A and 9 for outs KK, QQ,TT all hit a set and need board to pair to crush you.

Shovihng says you have a very strong hand and as you move up you will just get folds from hands you beat and called by hands that have great equity against you or have you crushed.

Not quite sure what you mean by that. You flop 2nd nuts, so I go broke here every day.

Don't agree with this. Preflop you get 4:1 and J9o is good enough to call here.
The flop is connected, true. But that also means that both could be sitting on 2pairs or still be drawing. You also have a blocker for AJ, so a made straight is less likely. I raise here for protection. Push is not good since many weaker hands will fold. Just raise to 45-50c and let them pay for their draws.

As played things worked out well for you. But, by playing a weak hand (J9o) out of position (from the big blind) you put yourself in a situation where you have to make these sorts of difficult decisions. I usually wouldn't play those cards at all unless I was the btn and was attempting a steal.

I am ok with call pre vs 2. Would fold vs 1.
On flop I raise smaller but willing to get it all in on F
Yes AJ is possible but many weaker hands will continue.

You're getting yourself into bad habits calling J9o in the BB in my opinion. Fold pre-flop, save yourself the hassle. If you to improve as a player that is.

If you're going to be folding J9 from the BB I think it will leave you easily exploitable. HJ has a fairly open range with the 1.5bb raise and the BU calling behind. Flop comes beautiful for you and you'll be ahead of much of both players range. AJ is possible from the HJ but it's a small raise for a hand that would want to get money in the pot 6 handed but flop probably didn't hit dealer's calling range pre too hard. I'm not sure how many people will call your shove with less than top pair with a draw but you're well ahead of those hands and there's lots of cards you don't want to see on the turn. Good result but I don't think you'll get called very often either way. I don't think many AJs would have gotten there tho but I'm really just getting into ranges so I could be terrible wrong

For me J9o is a fold even against two players (it might be good odds but your OOP). If they where suited or connected I would make the call which is still plenty of calls such that I don't over fold.


I like check raising but would check raise smaller as now you could scare top pair top kicker and even two pair away. Think I would make it about 45 cents such that I could get it in on the turn with about a pot sized bet.

I'm going with play J9o OOP with the odds.

If you hit big like this you're well disguised with a monster. If not you lost to the odds but theoretically are ahead if you play it every time.

I might donk bet the flop here with the coordinated and two players. Against one player I would check to the preflop raiser then over bet the check raise.

I wouldn't shove my stack just over around 130% of the pot with the possible AJ which is well within everyone's range plus the draw to the flush.

Then of course that turn puts you between a rock and a hard place OOP.

Results were good that's all you ever want to do.
