easy fold in my opinion on the flop. ONly losing $2 if you fold on the flop. Q-2 beats you. Plus you're out of position, so if he's drawing, it's harder to play later on...

Re: Ugly JJ line
 

raise or muck the flop. as played you have J high.

Re: Ugly JJ line
 

villain weak bet on the river, what does this mean on average? Did he puss out or is he trying to sap a sap of some money?

Sorry for a LC response, but the river is the meat and
potatoes here.

By the way are you in for ssnl mod or not?
I voted fro 4_2 but he seems indiferent and behind you.

Re: Ugly JJ line
 

I might re-pop the flop, but thats me. I turn is interesting, as it is another over but a card that gives you an OESD. You are getting about 2.6-1 or so, and the implied odds arent great, so I think I fold. On the river, hes offering about 2.5-1 on a brick, so if you think hes doing this with a missed FD or air, then call. I fold here though. Tough break.

Agree. The river is pretty close IMO. I think I should have raised the flop too. 2 spades and stuff like KJ seem to make this flop bet at .25/.50.

Re: Ugly JJ line
 

Fold the turn. You have six clean outs (probably) and I would guess that you aren't getting paid even if you hit. If villain is firing 3 barrels without a K or Q then you should have no trouble getting his stack soon.

Re: Ugly JJ line
 

I don't think it's that bad actually although pretty passive.
How about a donkey raise on that flop and check behind on turn? Fold is not too bad either if you think he is not out of line.

What does that accomplish? What better hands are you folding? Why build a pot with 2nd pair? Try to get to a showdown cheap after that horrible flop.
