10 J

This is the one hand that drives me insane when it land sin my pocket.

How would you play TJ, (os, ss doesn't matter).

Call, Raise, Fold?

Mmmm nice post Miss beauty bum, interesting question.

This one gives me nightmares too. If you can catch a str8 with it generally its the nuts, but those cards only seem to come up when I fold the bloomin thing! In lots of other ways in can leave you chasing the hand from a weak position.

I tend to have a look at the flop if I can see it cheap, have been known to fold UTG. If it is suited, I might push the boat out a little more .... 3x blind (ish)? Depending how costly the blinds are.

10 j is a brilliant hand, give u a tip if u got it in a str8 u got the nuts..

i always raise with it and if i hit a half hand ill bet with it again..

its a power hand!

Thanks guys!

I'm almost not afraid of it anymore.

I'd usually fold this handjust because I was so clueless as to where I really stood with it. I have a much better idea now how to play this hand. TJ will no longer haunt me... Hopefully.

How freaky is that?!? I was just looking at this post while playing the pp freeroll and got 10Jo. Someone went all in with his 360 chips (blinds 30/60) so i folded it. 2 other callers the flop came up 10 6 10 turn J!!! I bow down to you jayc the poker gods obviously want me to listen to you!

Waw is what i got to say...
I'v been playing these cards more agressivly and i can't believe how many times they hit..

Thanks for the tip!!

I have been playing them more aggressively also, but they never bloomin hit for me!

I have decided that jayc is a naturally flukey git, who knows it and bets accordingly. I have to scrape by, doing reasonably well despite being the unluckiest f***er in the universe!!

Okay he is quite a good player too. LOL.

In order for playing hands like JT aggressively to work, I think it's important to pick your spots. For instance, you want to raise against passive players who are likely tofold hands that are ahead, like Ax or small pockets. Also, the idea isn't necessarily to win a lot of hands with these cards. most of the time, you won't hit and you'll lose a little. The goal is to win more overall through a combination of small pots when no one calls your raise or your continuation bet, plus occasional big pots when you hit hard.

imo,call with 3-5 limpers else fold.

thanks for the tips. im going to try and pat more attention to th old 10 j now and see how the story unfolds..i'll be back
