erhaab1965 Posted February 28, 2011 Share Posted February 28, 2011 In a live 50p/£1 cash poker game i'll probably raise between £5 and £8 possibly a little more if there are a few limpers. I'll call probably up to around £20 if fully stacked. What should i take into account in low level cash online poker? I normally play between $0.05 /0.10 and $0.10/0.20 .When raising i normally raise 3 or 4 times the big blind ,which works for me. The problem i have is what is the maximum be i should call with jacks? In $0.05/0.10 should i be calling a 30 times the big blind raise with Jacks? At $3.00 it it is still ridiculously cheap even though it is 30 bigs.(considering i'd call £20 live) Would making these calls at this level be bad for long term play ?

Nade Posted February 28, 2011 Share Posted February 28, 2011 Re: How much to play Jacks in cash poker? The maximum bet to call with JJ? as a % of your stack, maybe 20%, if someone 3bets more than that then go all-in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
erhaab1965 Posted March 3, 2011 Author Share Posted March 3, 2011 Re: How much to play Jacks in cash poker? If there is 3 , 4 , 5 betting pre flop , surely it is not good in the long term if we get our entire stack in preflop with jacks , assuming we are deep stacked? If we are put all in preflop when holding jacks do we get it all in ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nade Posted March 3, 2011 Share Posted March 3, 2011 Re: How much to play Jacks in cash poker? If we're deep then i wouldn't get JJ in pre-flop. I think what you're looking for is a definitive guide on how to play JJ. All i can say is pay attention to your opponents - against some it will be an insta all-in pre flop against others you have to play post flop and trap them or pot control. Just pay attention.

gettingfatter Posted March 7, 2011 Share Posted March 7, 2011 Re: How much to play Jacks in cash poker? dont think of any game you play in monetary terms, only big blinds. And also it will depend on who is 3/4/5 betting you, there is no definitive answer to a question like this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seriously this is a 50/1 game where stacks are max 200 deep and people are standard straddling for total £15 pre flop? That sounds like the most aggressive game on earth ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With the straddles it's the equivalent of 5/10 so you're basically playing 12BBS deep. Unless the initial raiser is someone super nitty or someone that's super bluffy but would fold to a shove then shoving is the right play. Calling and hoping for a low flop sucks cause if it comes like KQ and the A9 guy bets, you end up folding the best hand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
