How rediculous...

How rediculous..

so villian has to limp with AA AND check the flop with no bets.

By the river, i have full house which can only be beat by 3 hands,  AA, AJ, 44.

So of course my oponent has AA and didnt bet.....

Do you really have to go to these lengths just to take my measily £2..... ??

    Why limp with J4 thats your first problem. 

    You should not have been in the hand.

    Also i think this is a dym there is no need to go bust in the first level

    Stuart is right, mate - it's a bit of a leak to be calling with junk like that from any position.

    What kind of flop are you hoping to see when you are holding J4 offsuit?

    Jack high is no good, because your kicker is no kicker at all.

    Four high is no better because even if you're ahead at that point, you certainly won't be after the next card.

    So really the only thing you can hope for is JJx or 44x... and why would you pay any amount of chips in the hope of seeing that flop?

    If it's a dym, I'd imagine it's almost certainly a fold? I dunno though. 

    In any other form of poker it's probably fine to call getting 5/1 with almost any 2 cards against 2 extremely weak ranges.

    I guess the dream flop would be 2JA with everyone checking behind you, and then a J on the turn....

    UNLESS, of course, you're walking into a trap !..


    and if you had J4 in the bb and flop came J62 rainbow, would you bet?  I think you would....

    Yah, I've just been messing about on the calculator.

    Even if the UTG position player is limping only pocket pairs 22-AA and AJ+ we still have 20% equity to win the hand aganst that range and a random hand in the big blind. 

    Equity Win Tie  
    MP2  20.59%  19.83%  0.75% J4o
    MP3  52.70%  52.17%  0.53% 22+, AJs+, AJo+
    CO  26.71%  25.84%  0.87% random
    We only need 17% ish I think. So even if we know he's limping a strong range, we can still call. 

    Obviously we expect him to be limping tonnes wider than this, so in reality we'll be above 20%.

    Tough hand and position to play from post flop though on alot of boards.

    Awful hand, not even suited, doesn't do anything, doesn't work together, out of position for the whole hand, might hit and be in awful shape, playing all streets vs an unknown range.

    Yeah, massive cooler and no mistakes on your part.

    I can't believe no-one has mentioned river play. When you bet river and get min-r going all in is just a huge mistake. Your opponent doesn't have a 2 (he isn't raising turn with bottom pair and nor should he be raising river if he did happen to have a 2. So basically, he has Jx and better or a bluff. If you ship river he folds his bluffs, calls with Jx and better. If you aren't being called by a worse hand, your bet is bad.

    Also, pre-flop is a fold. Ignore the odds you are getting in pre-flop situations like this. You still have post flop play and any chips you gain from the pre-flop call you will likely lose post flop since it's going to be impossible to make a profit with this hand from the worst position.

    the fact it is a dym means you should fold.

    the chips you lose are WAY more valuable than the chips you stand to win, and you will only flop 2pair+ 3.5% of the time and 90% wont even have top pair. when we do have top pair it kinda sucks too as we may not get to showdown and will be outkicked often.

    DYM's are a rare beast. you have to be a super nit here, no room for speculation

    Surely the main point is what slipwater said, what flop you hoping to see and just calling hoping to see a miracle flop, so no matter the odds its a fold ?
