    Default Pocket Jacks turned fullhouse NEed advice

    How should I have bet this....

    I was sitting at a big stack table and they were playing solid. You could n't bet too much as they'd see right thru you and fold but bet too little and no profit. Anyways I had to resort to fancy play.

    How would all of you have played this hand..

    BLinds 1/2


    LITFOUR POS 3 with
    Lets suppose one guy is betting the king how would you know if he has a fullhouse himself when the other king comes out or put him on king with low kicker etc. It seems you would need to raise to findthis out however if u riase u might scare him out if he has just a low kicker and he thinks ur kj or something. anyways...


    Flop comes and you didn't raise preflop in hopes for a big return

    TURN

    RIVER

    I personally like a check or a small bet on the flop to see where your at and see if he has a king, You want him to have something like KA so he would definatally call any large river bet.

    over bet the pot, if sum1 has a king with a decent kicker they will call and be pot committed for all there chips. If anyone else had nothing they will fold on the river anyways. Plus if they were all playing solided poker sum1 may put you on a steal and try to play back at you. Don't slowplay this hand if sum1 is drawing to a straight they'll check right behind you and if an ace fell you'd be pot committed with trip jacks.

    ohya and don't slowplay jj preflop at a full table. The only time i would do it if i was in early position and knew a loose/agressive player was probabley going to raise me in late position then i'd set up a reraise. JJ isn't strong enough to slowplay. Plus also if you made a proper raise preflop and maybe get one caller chances are they'll be holding high cards such as kx, which will pay you off after you raise on the flop. If he does fold you also pick up a reasonable pot because of your pf raise.
