I lead the flop 100% of the time. Then the rest of the hand is easy.

Would you lead if the flop was not two tone?

Re: Play from the blinds: J8s
 

I think I probably value bet this. His small bets combined with the call of your re-raise makes me think flush draw which means that A likely hit his hand. I think you'll get call here often enough from a weaker hand to make it worth a bet.

Re: Play from the blinds: J8s
 

All-in and expect a call from an A.

Re: Play from the blinds: J8s
 

Lead the flop.

The way you played it, just push the river.

A lot of these 'play from the blinds' hands make NO sense at all. I mean, if there's anything special about the villain that caused you to do something different, then post those specific reads. If not, your default lines are pretty bad.

how bad is folding PF? still learning...

in your case though, i'll usually bet 150ish on the river.

[/ QUOTE ]He's in the BB this time and no one has raised, so it didn't cost him anything to see the flop.
