raises and folds to resistance?

Re: JJ overpair facing aggression
 

i would say your in the lead. he most likely has an ATish sort of hand. looks WA/WB to me an usually WA. i would call and evaluate the turn based on villains reaction to what falls. i prolly make a small raise on the turn looking for a free showdown as well.

another option is to raise the flop, check the turn an call any river bet.

a read would of been nice but i think your main aim is to get to showdown without your whole stack going in.

Make it $20-$22 and reevaluate if called. If he 3bets, fold.

Re: JJ overpair facing aggression
 

I would just call. I really don't want to bloat this pot, especially not with the stacks the two of you have. I would then call reasonable bets on both turn and river, unless the board comes down really bad.

Re: JJ overpair facing aggression
 

Alright, I'd like to define villian's range and then move on from there.

Villian seems to be extremely LAGGY. That being said, the lag could have 7-10 through A-10 here and be betting out with top pair. If he's EXTREMELY loose and fishy, I guess we could put a 10-5, 10-3 or 3-5 in the realm of possibility but I really doubt it.

There is no real draw other than the straight draw. A LAG player could bet out with A-2 through A-5 here.

Those are the possiblities in which he caught a part of the flop. He very well could have absolute air here as well.

You are behind a wierd two-pair or a set here. I don't think he has an overpair due to the lack of a raise PF.

So I really feel as if you are ahead here most of the time.

I'd raise to $24. It lets the villian know that you are serious about your hand. With no other reads than his loose nature, this hand could get difficult by the turn. So raise on the flop and be happy to take it down.

If he smoothcalls, I raise many turns. If he reraises on the flop, I think I call and stack his inferior pair.

Hope this helps.

Okay, what's your plan if he re-raises? What do you bet on a turn blank? A turn over card?

Looks like a train wreck is getting ready to happen. I just don't know which train is going to run off the tracks........Did you consider calling to keep the pot small?????

Re: JJ overpair facing aggression
 

calling to keep the pot small becomes a problem when a card come thats completes the straight, another 10, an overcard, etc.

I like the raise on the flop, and fold to a reraise.

Good move, what did the villian do?
