Don't really like it tbh. The 1,200 to 16,000 raise is only gonna get called by hands that beat you, it looks like you're too eager to get all the money in, so probably reps QQ AA or KK. Anything that calls has you crushed. At very best your flipping (and by the looks of the community cards, you lost)

It's not terrible though. A lot of newer players think JJ is a premium, when IMO it should be played like 99. Don't over value it. When UTG try calling with the intension of seeing a flop and if you get an overpair, bet out for value (especially in a free roll).

Yeah thanks for the advice, I was actually hoping he would fold but that seems to rarely happen in a freeroll. I love pushin jacks like they are aces but some other info I had was he just moved to my table within 10 hands, went all in over the top with QQ and then a few hands later fired a three barrel with AJ off and got called down each time.

As said JJ is probably not the best hand for risking 66 bb here.

Any non-crazy 4bet-shove calling range leaves you behind.

Hand 0: 55.804% 54.53% 01.27% 42021076 977639.00 { TT+, AQs+, AKo }
Hand 1: 44.196% 42.93% 01.27% 33077326 977639.00 { JcJd }

If you're relying on him folding there you could do this with 53o too.

That's pretty nice, how did you do this/where can I do it?

Also would it be appropriate to shove 66BB on QQ?

Google "pokerstove" and search cc for "pokerstove" to see how to use it.

Ahhh I'm not that lazy :p

How to use PokerStove

It's a free holdem equity equity calculator.


And with queens it depends on the situation.

Shoving is mostly a coinflip here and you wont get called by less too often (maybe in a freeroll) as said.

Think you're more getting called here by QQ+ and AK, even in a freeroll - that's a huge jam.

A min 3bet is normally a sign of strength rather than weakness. If players are weak pre they'll see a flop and then try and find out where they are, rather than 3betting pre to find the same thing.

Flat and re-evaluate - you can fold flops with high cards and pay off reasonably sized flop bets if you expect him to not bet turn + river with AK.

You can also raise far smaller; I'd make it like 530 to go here.
