Read some strategy guides, or watch some videos?  Get TMGOP 1 and pre-order TMGOP 2 - sounds like the 1st will be of massive help.

[ashj22]

ok thanks.  TMGOP 1 and pre-order TMGOP 2 <--------------------- never heard of it.

Never heard of either?  Quite possibly the best £20 you could invest in your poker career.  The Mental Game of Poker - books or audios.

I dont like the jam with 28bb... I think you can r/f here or peel and then c/f the flop depending what he bets.

I know hindsight is a beautiful thing just dont think the jam is the right move.

You are on the sb so not like you are worried about the blinds coming round, you can fold here and live to fight another day!!

Did you have any stats on the player? I might be wrong but I dont like it!! especially when you know you are going to be flipping at best!!

[ashj22]

i had 28bb the dead money = around 25% of my stack im out of position and imo jamming here dosent look very nutted and can get called by worse. if i 3 bet here i dont really see how i can 3 bet fold cos when i 3 bet it looks like a squeeze so if i 3 bet here imo i pretty much have to 3 bet call off.

[ashj22]
