Hand Made Folded
I think i made the worst fold ever! what do you think?
I was playing in a live No Limit Hold’em tournament. Starting chips was 8000, 55 players. blinds were 300-600. I was in the small blind. The guy two seats to my right raises to 12000, next person reraised to 2400. I’ve played with these guys a few times before and i’m not worried about the initial raise but i put the guy who reraised on a big pair. I look down at my cards and see JJ. Now usually i would go over the top probably all in with this hand but considering i had just won a massive pot in the previous hand i didn’t want to lose them straight away. I thought if i flat call and a small flop comes i could get myself into trouble against a big pair. I should have just called considering in only cost me 2100 with 15000 left behind and hope to hit a jack and if not then fold. But i decided to fold. flop comes 99J. The initial raise bets about 5000 and the other player flat calls. Next card 4. Raise and then fold. he shows 44 full house. I would have doubled up!
Do I have this right? You have about 12x blinds left and you wilt with JJ because the guy on the button raises? Idon’t like calls from sb, but if you’re not willing to see a flop with JJ and try to outplay your opponents, you’re sitting at a table past you.
Also, I have a hard time believing that the tourney started with 8k in chips and 300-600 blinds so I gotta think you’re shortstacked. If so, the only play here is to shove.
