Ok I'm a long time lurker but this particular hand is something I've been finding happening quite a bit lately, and was looking for some feedback.
I'm playing 2/4 NL at Poker Champs and I'm in the BB with $700. Its folded to the SB with $532, who is a decent tight limit player but havent played him much in NL. He min raises to $8 as he seems to do whenever he can. I have JJ and decide to jack it to $24. He calls.
Flop is 863 rainbow. He checks and I bet $35 into a $48 pot. He calls instantly.
Turn is a 4 making all four suits on board. He checks again and I fire $70 into what is now a $118 pot. Once again he calls pretty much instantly.
The river is a 2. He pushes all in for $403 into the $258 pot. What's your play?
I usually think such a push reeks a bluff, yet with such a low board theres not really all that many hands I think I can beat, with any 5 giving him the straight. This situation has come up quite a bit lately. Looking back, I also think maybe I didn't bet enough through the hand.
So any thoughts? Who's folding and who's calling? I'll post the results later on.
