Default Top pair and a calling station?

Ultimate Bet No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t20 (9 handed) converter

UTG (t1350)
UTG+1 (t1470)
MP1 (t1540)
MP2 (t1560)
MP3 (t3540)
CO (t1270)
Button (t1440)
Hero (t1430)
BB (t1400)

Preflop: Hero is SB with Q[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], J[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img].
<font color="#666666">2 folds</font>, MP1 calls t20, <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, MP3 calls t20, <font color="#666666">2 folds</font>, Hero completes, BB checks.

Flop: (t80) J[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], 9[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], 5[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(4 players)</font>
Hero checks, <font color="#CC3333">BB bets t20</font>, MP1 calls t20, MP3 calls t20, <font color="#CC3333">Hero raises to t180</font>, BB folds, MP1 calls t160, MP3 folds.

Turn: (t480) 2[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>
<font color="#CC3333">Hero bets t300</font>, MP1 calls t300.

River: (t1080) 8[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>
Hero checks, MP1 checks.

Final Pot: t1080

I checked the flop because the big blind was a total fish who always bet the minimum with any two cards, so I intended to use him to probe the other 2 and check raise if they appear weak. Do you think asking the MPs to call half the pot on my reraise isnt enough?

But if this player wasnt in the pot say, what would you bet on this flop?

Would you bet the turn and if so how much?

And what do you put Villian on as the hand plays out?

Edit: One last question: If the Turn had been the 2[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] would this change your turn play at all?

Umm...

I would play it the same way, I think. You guys start out with a lot of chips so I dont think he was really going to fold that easily.

2 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] huh... I would either bet or try to check raise. Just remember your hand isnt that strong though.


I put the Villian on 9 5 off suit. [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img] (No one can know)

After the Aces were shown did he say 'I usually lose with Aces?'
