    you can lay that down. It's early in the tourney, there's a big raise, then a big re-raise, one of these guys is representing something big, bigger than what you have. At best you are the good side of a coinflip, the rest of the time you are a huge dog. throw them away, jacks aren't great when 2 opponents are indicating premium hands.

    As played you're 43% to win and barely ahead of AKs.
    For Free Money, Rakeback and some 6x Ongame bonuses, I recommend PokerSource.

    I recommend Cardrunners for superb poker coaching. It was honestly the single biggest improvement in my game signing up there! Sign-up fee might seem steep, but it pays itself back within weeks.
