Should I be calling here?

Also is my Initial Call a stupid play in this situation?

if u r not sure how to play jj and on a forum asking for advice, what the fcuk are you doing in a $55 dollar event in the first place??? playing way above your level you wont learn much apart from a fool and his money.........................

ps with blinds at that level i would push all in as soon as. if i hit the call button by accident i prob would have still called as your opponent is even more short stacked than u and a raggy ace is gold dust to him. that stage in a shove fest get your *****in and if you get called hide behind the sofa until brave enough to look

Nice response, puts anyone off asking for any help on this forum.

Blimey I guess why people don't post questions to often.

Thanks for your advice. I appreciate it.

FYI I qualified as opposed to buy in directly and maybe I have phrased the opening post badly.

Thanks for your time.

Oh and BTW thanks for your second post, I guess that was a bit more what I was hoping for.

sorry. was out last nite. got bit of a stinger.lol. with jacks in that position u are happy with blinds.the only thing u dont want is multi callers.get your *****in and let them worry

Np Thanks.

I guess that is my point because I made a stupid initial call of 600, when there are two people go in before I act - Is it still a call? Or should I take my punishment for the stupid initial call of 600 and fold. I don't really want to be up against 2 all ins here do I?

Its the 5k turbo the call is car crash and you know that.

Raise plenty to show oppos you cant fold and obviously ship your small remainder in if need be. I prefer this to an all in as the donks often view this as stregnth.

And call after the action

Cheers Joffy. Appreciate it.

So even after the stupid mistake, it's still a call for you.

I reckon I have just got a mental block about JJ to be honest.

It's just one of them hands that no matter how I play it, I play it badly.

Mind you I don't play other hand any better so I am not sure why I am worried ;)

I guess the good thing about this thread is anyone who didn't have me as a DONK in thier notes now has the chance to update them :^)

Good Luck

100% call after mistake.

Nothing wrong with people thinking your a donk just dont play like one

So I think it was always going to play out like that regardless of how I played it pre flop. Probably why I was questioning whether I should be folding.

The exit hand at least shows I kind of learned my lesson:

Mind you by then I am so short, I guess I am always getting looked up.

Good Luck all and thanks for the Input.

just push pre, but youi should definitely call once you limped. I assume you limped to trap and you caught two.

Shove pre. As played call. I don't think JJ is a strong enough ahnd to limp call with
