Can't say I would of played it like that. Putting chips on a draw is only worth it after your already in the money. I think.

I would have folded preflop, especially in middle position. A lot of players seem to overvalue J, 10. I'm not sure why.

I don't see any actions here that aren't mistakes.

a) fold preflop (or if you really can't bear to let the JT go, open raise)
b) you didn't fold, so when you're raised preflop... fold
c) on the flop you're too short to chase and have close to zero fold equity when shoving... SO FOR THE LOVE OF PETE FOLD ALREADY!!

I do think shoving on the flop is preferable to just calling, however.

fold preflop, you only have around 11 bb;s limping aint an option especially with j10 off.

Thanks alot for your input everyone :) so now i know when that happens ill fold. To an above post up there i cant really explain "why" i think j/10 is such a fancy hand but it has been like that for as long as ive been playing.

Thanks again

Fold Preflop, with the blinds the way they are I would want to get in with better than J/10
As Roundcat said Fold already.

[x] J/10 is not sexy:hello:
