  1. semi deep in a trny I have JJ here I am thinking I can raise pre and pick up the blinds, but i opted to limp here in early pos, instead hoping to come over the top of someone elses
    raise, (a pretty Lag table) I got my wish, but I think I am going broke here either way IDK just wanted some other opinions on the hand and the situation

  2. You're going broke either way.

    Think about the alternatives:

    1) You smooth call his raise preflop (which wouldn't make much sense with your stack size) and see 8/2/3 rainbow. Whether you check/raise or lead out, it's all going in on that flop.

    2) You push preflop, dude has KK. Broke again.

    Tough luck. Nothing you can do about it.
