Thanks for your feedback. I’ve been playing standard ABC poker my whole life and I’m really trying to better my game. You’re exactly right here, I put him solely on the bottom of his range and I didn’t take a lot into consideration about my own. When the action folded to me on the button I saw that there was a raise to $15 by the under the gun player. So when I look at my Jack’s I just called the pre-flop raise but when it folded back to the initial raiser the dealer gave him the option to check. I agree that if I had saw the straddle and it wasn’t a raise I would have raised jacks on the button to protect my hand.

Thanks! He was playing tight as well. Looking back with pocket 5s in the big blind I should have reraised. I’m still learning how to be a more aggressive player. I tend to play really tight till I double my stack then start to open up.
