JJ in UTG
 

Party Poker 0.50/1 Hold'em (8 handed)

Any thoughts on how I could play this better? Do I bet the flop with this board? Not very fond of my turn play at all. What is the best approach there? Thanks

Re: JJ in UTG
 

turn play is fine.

On the flop, i'd check-raise CO if aggressive, or lead out if passive. If 3-bet/raised, i'll call the turn on the 3rd nut flush draw.

I think the turn is fine; given the turn and river action, i'd be confident to put CO on A7 rather than a flush, they slowed down fearing AJ and then put the gas back on when the 7 fell.

Nice hand.
