I played live over the last week for the first time in a while, and for whatever reason JJ was pretty much the only pair I got dealt multiple times. In any event, two occasions come to mind that I'd like to know what the heck I'm supposed to do, both at $1/2 tables.


Hand 1:
Fold to CO
CO limps
Hero (SB) makes it $10
BB calls
CO shoves for $300

Hand 2:
There's a limper or two, to me in the CO. I make it $12
Folded to BB who reraises to $50
Folded to me

In both cases I folded. In the first case because it was a ridiculous shove. In the second case mainly because I'm not sure JJ is worth that sort of money (in BB terms), but I'm less confident there. Am I supposed to go set mining in that one and fold to an all-under board?

Limp-reraising seemed to be way more popular than it had been the last few times I played live.

Hand 1 turbofold only because you want to end the ****ing hand and get dealt another one of your 20 hands per hour

Hand 2 probably a good fold too

Hand 1: Auto Folding anything but AA maybe KK unless 1: im drunk and really want to gamble(even here i'd rather have suited connectors its a drunken vice) 2: I have serious history with shover
Hand 2: Fold unless raiser is on monkey tilt or just spewing in general. The only real play is to shove here i think. If you're going to flat you're shoving an all under board when he c-bets the flop.

Agree with both above responses...hand 1 is autofold, and hand 2 most likely as well unless you have some stellar read, in which case shoving>>>flatting
