PAHWM: 5NL Zone at Ignition (1 Viewer)

[boltonguy]

No reads - anonymous .02/.05 fast fold Zone on Ignition. Hero is in UTG (LJ) with pocket Jacks.
Hero opens to 3BB and +1 calls, +2 calls, BN 3bets to 17.4BB, SB folds (!) and BB jams 117.4 BB
Pic below - this is pretty much what always happens when I have jacks ..

Hero's move.

I’m folding them joints.

I try to pretend jacks are tens, not queens.

But I also know nothing about six max zone poker.

I mean what’s your best hope, that they both have AK?
Im folding

I vote fold. I think it is close, not a snap fold. jacks are a top two percent hand. The big blind overbet jam could easily be a fancy squeeze play rather than a big hand. And button's three bet could be a lot wider than QQ+, AK. Rejamming doesn't seem like a crazy mistake. Perhaps not a coin flip, but not too far off.

Too bad we have no villain reads -=- DrStrange

Fold and hand over the 15 cents. Live to play another one.

There are three ways to play pocket jacks and they are all wrong.

Interesting that everyone agrees. This was an obvious fold to me.
I clicked the 'sit out next hand' check box so I could watch the hand play out.
+1 and +2 folded and BN called.
BN showed KK and BB showed QQ and did not improve.

I may stop playing big pairs.

Not counting my recent incident with queens, the previous two times I had a big pair, I was one upped. Another time had queens, and met aces. Had kings, ran into aces.

QQ+ = -EV

At zoom this is a pretty trivial fold.

At zoom this is a pretty trivial fold.

It's been a while since I actually played a zoom game but I think they tend to attract nits. I think you can fold this hand to this action unless you have reason to believe the 3 and 4 bettors are light, which is just not an assumption I would make in zoom.

 

[boltonguy]

Yes zoom is tighter - I dont think its because it attracts nits per se but because you can fold a mediocre hand and move on so when people stick around to play a hand generally it is stronger than full ring/6max. In full ring I start getting desperate to play a hand an hour in when I've only been dealt junk after 40 hands and look down at 8Ts in MP ...

Just call it “balancing your range” and then you’re allowed to play it!

Without any reads? Fold.
A lot of people have shown interest in playing, with one even raising before the jam.

Best case scenario this is a race, and that's gambling territory, so I'm out
