JJ in MTT

[rossfourfive]

Just had this hand in a $5 donkament on Party.

Have only seen around 10 hands at this table so poker tracker stats don't have much meaning but villians are running at:

duckeyboy118 35/15
gosha999111 65/0

Neither has been involved in any significant hands.
I'd be interested in your thoughts on how i played the hand.

Pre flop - Should i be pushing all in here or does the call from gosha merit just the call?

Flop - should i be betting out on a flop like this? When duckeyboy moves in i'm intending on calling putting him on AK maybe, but when gosha calls im not as confident

I think you should fole pre flop Duckyboy isnt putting the reraise in for over 30% of his stack with anything you can beat and with gosha in aswell I think its definetly a fold

I agree with this dump it preflop.

The fact that you are considering folding an almost perfect flop without a jack indicates folding to the 3bet preflop is easily the best option.

Folding>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Shoving>>Calling  IMO

In this type of hand it seems to be best to play for all the marbles preflop or fold. In a $5 donkament I play for all the marbles.

This is pretty spot on, but i only realised that after the hand...

I folded on the flop convinced i was behind, one of them had 66 and the other 55.

Gutted.

The fact that gosha only flat called the all in would be screaming for a call at the very least from me in hopes that it'll be checked down from there on out.  If he had gone all in over the top, then I'm taking a chance knowing I still have a short stack to work with after. 

Blinds are still small enough to build it back up.  That said, gosha could have held a higher pocket pair than you and flat called in hopes that you'd re-raise all in anyway, so depends on what you know about him and how happy you are to play a short stack if you're wrong.

Hard luck when you saw what they had, but if you never see a hand you would have won had you played...you're playing too many hands.

Pump 'em or dump pre-flop... You shouldnt need to any post-flop decisions...
