Thank you in advance for any critique.
Ring Game. Live @ Casino. 2/5 - NL/HE
Been sitting for 3.5 hours. Played very few hands, probably to the point that most put me as a mouse.
$95 in front of me.
Dealt JJ, 2nd under the gun.
Under the gun, folds. I raise to $15. Call. 5 more folds. Call Call
Flop J 10 9 rainbow.
Afraid of the straight draw I went all in for 80 - all 3 folded. Fine.
So now I have $140.
Very next hand I am under the gun
Dealt JJ (again)
I raise to $15. Call 6 folds Call Call.
Flop 10 J Q rainbow.
I am first to bet after the flop.
Of course, I am afraid of straight draws, and even considered someone might have AK. But, with my modest pre-flop raise and no re-raise, pre flop, I figure chances of someone having a King OR Ace was much better than someone having AK (both). So, to prevent against draws, I went all in. Call, Fold Fold. She (the caller) had AK.
I probably should have raised more, pre-flop - but, (with her AK) I suspect she would have called any reasonable raise - she had called others (earlier) to as much as 5xBB.
Was there a better way to play the 2nd hand? Thanks
