WTF is this? It's not weak: It's stupid. I don't know why you felt the need to raise 88 from the BB facing 3 limpers, but if you do, you have to fire on that ragged flop. In fact, pushing the flop is probably the best play here. That check was so terrible; I have no idea what you were thinking.

Given the way you played it, I think the SB's call on the end was actually +EV, I would have solidly put you on AQ....

I Try not to raise Jacks in that position PF....

I didn't even look at the river; after seeing preflop and flop, I was able to get upset enough :O

**gder03** · 01-07-2006

firing that river you keep doing. its bad, fire flop. if not flop than turn. dont bet river like this it fools no one.

My sentiments exactly.

I'd call it loose-passive rather than weak-tight, up until the river which is just silly.

**DrunkyDoggy** · 01-07-2006

Wow! I can't beleive you gave him 2 free cards. I am suprised to came out of this alive. Should have bet atleast half pot at the flop.

**LongBall42** · 01-07-2006

Yeah, the flop shouldn't scare you too much, the only hand that would have probably called you would have been a J10 QJ kind of hand. What kind of tournament was this, what was the buy in, how many players were left, how many left until the bubble? I think I find it more weaktight that none of the other players fired at this when the flop was checked. I find this to be a hand where betting isn't the "POWERRRR OHHHH YEAHHHH, AGGGGGGREESSSSSIVE" play, but more of a probe bet. But yeah, if you're going to raise with a hand like 88 and you don't improve, it's a must bet, because it's not likely to be the best hand for very longer. And you've gotta take it down on the flop. The most important thing is you realized the mistake, and won't make it again.

**KINGJACK** · 01-08-2006

Woooo!

Big mistakes on all streets IMO...

You have to check PF (MHO)

But if you raise, you have to fire on the flop

But if you dont, you have to bluff AK on the turn

But if you dont check the god dam river...

Well... I would say only hand that calls a big bet here beats you, but I'm obviously wrong.
