JJ in mid stages of tournament

[Drywallman3]

How you play JJ pre flop depends on several factors, including blind levels, position, action before you, your stack size, and the stack sizes of those left to act.

I'd go into more detail, but the number of people who would actually read this to learn anything is probably quite small.

This statement is very true

Of course it is, that's why I said it.

I hate playing jacks specially in freerolls. You'll always get some donkey call your shove and they call you with K rag or A rag. And the flop turn and river will always turn one of them. Fold and live to fight another day.

usually no value in shoving there unless u relaly think hes weak, i would 3 bet then play it accordingyl , but you know that your not folding usually even if he 4 bets u back.

[crispzilla]

depends a lot on the stack sizes and how loose he raises, but i think calling is bad since last thing you want is a multi way pot with JJ. I would probably 3 bet or shove depending on the stack sizes.

I don't recommend it, but I limp like crazy all over the place with suited connectors, AA, KK, QQ, any pair, etc. Yeah, I have to limp fold sometimes, I have to limp call fold sometimes. But you can mix it up with tight play and make the people who start raising behind you pay. I guarantee you, once they see you limp UTG with AA, they are careful messing with you when you limp some more, especially if you are a tight player. And when you find MANY of those players that can not fold AA or KK on the flop to a big raise, and you hit your 2 pair or set on the flop, the double-up that follows more than makes up for the folded chip wasting hands. I think the key here is to be able to play well post-flop.

When a player raises a tenth of your stack from early position and you said you have an average stack, then I would be wary. JJ is a decent hand, but I do not think it is worth losing 1/2 of your stack over. I would either raise or fold depending on your reads on this guy.
