nice hand...

I am tempted to call and try to flop a set. There are already three players in the hand and it might take a nice sized raise to get them all out.

Probably a mix - call about most of the time and raise the pot (like around 400) every once in a while (like 20% of the time).

Any clue on the min-raise guy? This is a stinky little bet after a limp. I prefer the call only because of this. Open min-raise would probably open up my raising % a bit.

Call. Especially in a rebuy tourney. If he has a made flush you have outs, if not then you're probably ahead.

I agree. Rebuy makes this a call. The only hand you're dominated by is KK. You're ahead of AA, AK, AJ, KJ, 66 and you still beat a made flush 33% of the time.

Min raise UTG+1 and just calling out of position preflop to your raise make KK highly unlikely.

call. he has AK with the , giving him 9 outs, plus you have all those redraw outs.

See that's the kind of good logical thinking I used (and if he already has the flush, I'll have 10 outs after the Turn).

As it turns out, good logical thinking was of no use.

I call and the button folds.

I flip up my Jacks and he flips up for top set.

Wha-wha-what? If I had played it tight and just called preflop, there'd have likely been 6 people to the flop.

My raise gives him the perfect opportunity to re-raise and isolate, but he donks that too and just calls. Who plays Cowboys like that?

Needless to say, my one-outer missed and I rebought.

I think I bust out the most with pocket J's than any other pair.

Well JJ is just a pair, and the average winning hand is better than a pair.
