How not to play JJ??
troubled joe:
Swinebag:
Tough one for me. I"d have probably donked off half my stack as well and would struggle to play this hand well from SB.
My (limited) thinking is.......
I"d have put myself behind his range but would 3 bet pre flop (say to 2K). If he called I"d Cbet on that flop (3K) and would not put another chip in after that. I"d let the hand go to any show of strength after that meaning I"d probably lost as many chips as you, (but not quite as many)
The 3 bet pre flop may win the hand there and then which is normally the best chance to win with jacks. If you get rereraised you know you are done with them.
I"ll let the experts disect this post and yours as I"ve only replied to this because I"ve lost chips for england with JJ and want help with my play too!
PS I bet he had JJ too!!
this took me so long to write, that i missed 4 replies

I can"t fault Zanshin"s assessment of the situation. Well done Derek, you win a prize for guessing AK! ;)
I would have put him on overcards to the flop but less than your JJ - 99 or TT. Would I have risked my MTT life on it though - probably not!
AMRN:
I would question your call preflop, and what you were hoping for on the flop. The flop has brought all undercards, which should be the perfect flop for your overpair, but if you think you are behind at this point you shouldn"t have called preflop. I would have re-raised preflop to try find out where I am.....

Doesn"t a check-raise give you the same result, but for fewer chips?
