I think my only question is why you didn't 3-bet? No raises preflop, so you can most likely count out AA or JJ... which are the only hands that beat you... unless I'm missing something?

Cap turn.3-bet / call Cap on RiverI lead turn... getting checked thru on a card that may slow others down would suck.I lost Boat vs Boat twice in one day early in my online days ( uh..like 6 months ago) Took me a long time to recover. Value bet these like crazy. Sometimes you lose.Passivity on flop may be good idea..not really ready to comment on that.

Among many of my disastrous hands last night, was loosing a huge pot with flopped trips to someone who turned their two outer with aces against me. That is why I slowed down. I wish I hadn't. Still recovering from that hand.

Fold preflop. As a rule of thumb, UTG calls should be pretty much with pocket pairs only.JTs is a late position only hand... and it's THE most overplayed hand in limit hold'em. I know it's sexy and I know it makes 4 nut straights... but just trust me when I say it costs more than it's worth.Cap turn cap river. You have a boat!!! You'll make more money paying off overboats and by c0ck-slapping everyone that caps you with goofy stuff, which will happen at .50/1.

This hand is very playable in UTG in loose-passive games. I would rather limp UTG with JTs that 22.Liberty,You should raise this flop. Calling the flop, and then checking the turn is too dangerous. The turn may get checked through. Raise the flop. Lead the turn. Don't stop raising. The only hands that beat you are JJ and AA. You are more likely to be up againsts Tx/KQ.

Just lead the freakin flop. You have monstrous equity, and having it checked through would suck. The flop connects, so gutshots and other garbage is calling, and Tx is raising. Bet the flop, and keep your mouse on the raise button.

that's bad advice.surprisingly coming from you.

[TJ_Eckleburg]

To clarify my position...Most of the .50/1 tables I play are tighter than I would like, and the loose tables are WAY loose. It tends to be one or the other.If the table is the former, then limping JTs UTG is bad.I can see situations and tables where it's not as bad and even good to limp JTs UTG.I just hate how overplayed it is in a general sort of way, and it DOES play much better in late position rather than early position.But you're right. The "as a general rule only limp pairs UTG" is bad advice. I forgot about suited aces and some other stuff. I just also really hate limping under the gun, and the only hands I find myself consistently doing that with are 55 and stuff.

check-raise this flop. look at all those betters between you - they're all calling one extra bet, and you'll price them in for whatever gutshot crap they're going for. don't worry about deception - worry about getting as many freakin bets in as possible.and definitely raise this river.

[Swift_Psycho]

I like a flop check/raise here. Lead the turn and then most of the time I'm capping all the way after that.

[Actuary]

If you c/r flop aren't you losing a lot of action on the turn?I dont like c/r the flop at all.We have a monster, I'd rather wait to be bet into on turn.If turn happens to get checked thru..that would seriously suck..but it's a risk I'd take.

[PrtyPSux]

cap the turn imo
