DTD £330 Main event this weekend

Level 3 75/150

I have 8800

Villain has me covered on about 15k

Im in the SB with  Js  Jh

My image has been tight, shown down good hands.

Villain has been tight and has won a few pots one with a nut flush, read on him looks fairly confident/nervous

Villain opens in the c/o to 450, passed to me in the SB whats my move here????

1550 to play :)

I flat here. Few reasons:

if we 3bet and get 4bet then we pretty much have to fold to this tight player

if we 3bet and get flatted then we're still concerned as a lot of players will flat their big hands in position here. Even if he's not got a big hand and calls for position then we're playing oop in a 3bet flop and are likely to see a flop that we don't like. Obv if we flop a set and he has the overpair then $$$

if we flat it disguises our hand a bit. If we flop a set then great, but we can also play this hand without flopping a set.

Basically, if you 3bet pre then I think you get worse to fd and get 4bet by bigger. Flat call and play some post flop poker.

I like flatting here too....

the single saving grace of flatting is that he looks nervous/confident. Im not mystic meg so i think id rather 3bet now than get utterly schooled with JJ oop to anyone remotely confident with a 8:1 ps ratio.

1375 so std

personally i'd re pop to 1800 and fold to the RR

but then i'm a donk

he looks confident/nervous???

i tend to flat in these spots quite alot and play from there

I would flat and play da streets.

I think the key word here is 'tight player'.

Can't see much advantage in raising

a) he reraises and you fold
b) he flat calls and you are still not much wiser of his hand
c) he folds a worse hand and you win a few chips

I would call and try to play the flop.

omg, mantis and flushy agree with me. Maybe I'm finally learning how to play this game :)

what do we do of he repops us?

no it's live they suck, they don't understand preflop ofc, they understand even less about post flop. Just call pre.

Fwiw the hh referencing him as the CO can often lead me to make mistakes because I think they realise what position they are in and how wide they should be opening when in all reality it's just an open raise it doesn't matter too much where it's from.

your in the SB so i would be folding. you will lose anyway.

"read on him looks fairly confident/nervous"

???

"Nervous about getting his aces cracked "ldo

So not confident then?

But confident that he's ahead of Girgy..or atleast that his DTD burger is safe now that Girgy is losing weight.

i make it 1350 and fold to the reraise...

anyway I made it 1200 to go and b&b passed!

Villain now 4 bets to 3600! I stared him down for minute this is when he looked confident but at the same time he was a bit twitchy/fiddly!

I asked him if he would show if I folded? He replied confidently "to you I will show"

I now know I'm behind and fold and he shows QQ

I knew after I shud of taken a flop to try and set mine!

Only way I make a lot of chips is if the flop comes jack high! If the flop comes 10 high I might go broke/lose more chips than my 3 bet! Or I could of got away cheeply if flop comes ace or king high!

nothing wrong with your play here...

Or it comes AK high and flop check checks and you lead turn and he folds, or he plays very poorly with terrible bet sizing post which sometimes comically prices you in to peel or gives you free cards.

Cawling pre is best.

Or more likely he has AT you 3b he folds, you flat he see's a T hi flop and does 1/2 bets to you

yeah exactly trying to get out of the negative mindset.
