playing JJ with an ace on board

[joefine]

Would have to say it depends on which 2 cards are suited? assuming it's a full table and it's folded to the cutoff, his opening range is pretty wide but calling the re-raise narrows it a bit. being it's pot limit i would put him on either A10 or above or some kind of suited connectors with get postflop potential or large PP.

The postflop action I think rules out large PP with the exception of AA but I would expect a 4-bet preflop with AA therefore unlikely he has AA. KK, QQ would have a hard time check-shoving.

The shove postflop is indicative of a monster hand (trips but AA, 22 and 33 unlikely or straight but 35 is unlikely too given the flat of a 3-bet) or monster draw where he wants to win the pot now but has enough outs if he gets called he doesn't mind putting his money in. Therefore I would put him on something like 56 of hearts - where he has both a flush and straight draw. Or if it's the 42 that's suited then maybe Ax suited to heats where he has tp but a redraw to the nut flush.

Also I think it's tough to bluff that spot. What is he representing if he is bluffing? If he's representing a big ace it has to be AK and since you 3-bet preflop a big Ace is well within your range as well.

PS - next time can you give us the pot pre/post flop. i'm too tried to figure it out and pot-limit is all about pot-odds
