You made him decide if he thought he had the best hand, and if he wanted to go all-in there. You wanted to see if your jacks were the best hand, and you found out when he pushed after your raise. But you were getting way too good pot odds to fold there. Unless he had a set of aces, you are getting right odds to call.
I keep saying pot odds, and your getting right pot odds to call because thats basically what it is. You put yourself in a place to get extremely good pot odds, and thats always a good thing. Remember, poker is a gamble, and you want to get your money in with the best of it. But sometimes, you have to take that chance and see if you come out on top. |
i disagree with pretty much everything you just said, except the first line.
after he calls the raise, there's a good chance they've got an ace. continuation betting into this flop is a bad idea, especially considering their stack size (you can't fold to a reraise).
and this line is pure nonsense: "You put yourself in a place to get extremely good pot odds, and thats always a good thing". so betting so much you're forced to call a reraise with the worst hand is always a good thing?
