Villian is 24/3/1.3 after 70 hands. I haven't seen him go nuts on a flop, yet.

Looks good. Sucks if he had J5; also coulda had 88. Hopefully he had J8. Hard to tell with his stats what he cold-calls with. 88 is reasonable.

Anyway, I play it the same way. You have to bet the turn in case he was jamming T9, the OESD. Plus you just ruined his 2 pair if he had it. I'd slow down to this raise, and the river sucks anyway. Gotta check-call it.

Im smelling a set, nicely played.
