reraise and hope it's capped. what's tricky here?

Reraise. CO might have 10/8 or J10 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], but really, I think you're going to be better a lot more often. He probably just rivered two pair.

Have to call down, either your good or facing TJ.

I was wondering the same thing.

3-bet it, hope he caps with 99 or some bizarre [censored].

Thanks for your replies.

Yes, I was worried that people love to play JT, so I didn't reraise. I now think I should have, because only J[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]T[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] would have gone this far.

Here's how it turned out -- it likely would have been capped since this was a pretty sneaky straight. [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]

This is an easy 3-bet, two pair is a lot more likely than a straight, and you're up against two players, one of which you KNOW has a worse hand, so you don't have to be good as often.
