Folding QQ or JJ

Deco · 06-30-2006, 04:56 PM

Anyt tips for folding these hands preflop when your reraised, too many time I am reraised to meet AA or KK but at the same time I am pushed all in against the likes of 33 or AK often as well so am very awkward playing these hands preflop as I want a big raise but I'm insecure going all in

At the moment I can only fold this hand when I have raised and am reraised twice but when against a sole opponeent or trapped between two opponenets its hard to know what to do

I could say , never but that wouldn't be true, But I would really want to see the flop. how much are these raises & re-raises , and how close to being in the money , or the players . do they usally re-raise with crap .

I would never ever go allin with JJ but QQ yes i would.... JJ is too risky lost a few times with it like A2,Q9,K7....... and more! So QQ is gr8!! JJ sucks

i pefer to usually try to play out the hand rather than all-in, but you got to love those people who go all in vs AA, KK, with 64o and end up sucking out anyway in a all in situation.

Well if your talking about raising then being reraised twice, it would seem that if you don't have a good read on your opponents playing style, it would seem your best bet would be to call, not raise again. See the flop. When my pocket cards are in the top 10 hands delt preflop, I'm gonna want to see that flop.

I just posted a similar message in the General poker section that was dealing with folding pocket AA when someone goes all in pre-flop. Even though I myself was seeking advice on this issue, I have concluded that I will probably fold pockets if I am close to the $$ in a tourney just in case by some chance the other player is able to pull a winning hand out of the cards by the river. I have lost too many tourney $$ late in the game by calling all in bets even with rockets.

I there is a raise and a reraise after you lead out it is almost a given that one of the raisers has a monster hand AA or KK. Unless you have a good read on both of the player fold here with JJ and QQ. Now if the reraises are small relative your chips stack. I mean if seeing the flop is not gonna hurt you much. See the flop. But, if you don't catch a set on the flop just let the hand go. I made that mistake the other day. I raised with my JJ and one person stuck in the hand with me. He reraised me. He hadn't be too quiet but quiet enough that I should have know better. The raise was enough that I was forced to go all in over the top of him with all my chips. He had me covered either way. I foolishly made the all in play. Sure enough, He had AA and I was history.

JJ QQ - I will call peflop re-raises and then flop a set or fold on an acehigh flop or if I am 100% conviced my opponent has AA or KK (which I never am). If I have an overpair to the board I go broke and start another tournament.

call wait the flop than all in if there isn't A or K in the flop
