Hi everyone, I'm new to the forum and am so frustrated by loosing with JJ. I've been trying hard not to overplay them but I still don't know if this was the proper play. I lost on the river but that can happen with any hand.


Hero (CO): 91.07 BB (VPIP: 24, PFR 12)

UTG (UTG): 57.68 BB (VPIP: 46.88, PFR: 20.00, 3Bet Preflop: 5.56, hands: 96)
UTG+1 (UTG+1): 173.61 BB (VPIP: 46.67, PFR: 28.57, 3Bet Preflop: 8.33, Hands: 31)


Dealt to Hero: JJ


UTG raises to 2 BB, UTG+1 raises to 4.77 BB, fold, fold, Hero raises to 17.82 BB, fold, fold, fold, UTG calls 15.82 BB, UTG+1 raises to 173.5 BB and is all-in, Hero calls 73.13 BB and is all-in, UTG calls 39.74 BB and is all-in

The river was an A and UTG had J10o, UTG+1 had AKo

Well, that escalated pretty quickly, so everyone was ready to go all in from the beginning I think. I like a pair in my hand better than a draw myself, so I might have done the same.

Good luck to you,
Brian

As it's a bounty tournament, UTG+1 could push a bit wider than usual (let's say all his 3bet-range that contains only the best hands considering his stats), just to through you off the hand, then you have only slight advantage. I would call this only if I'm ok with the fact that 50% I will be out after this hand and I'm willing to re-enter (as it looks like a partypoker hand, were you can re-enter up to 2 times) while the other 50% I'm gonna increase my stack 2.5x in early stage, and Im alright with playing this deep. Otherwise, if that tournament is important for me and no re-entry, I would fold. You'll have better opportunities for investing your 70 big blinds.

Thanks for the help guys. I called thinking he had overcards and I was right. I agree with Iwont20, if this was a more expensive buy in or I was playing in a non-bounty tourny I think I would have folded.
