This looks fine. I think you are chopping or ahead (maybe an aggro KJ?) often enough to call down. This is one of those cases where I want to get to showdown as cheaply as possible. No use putting in any extra bets on the turn or river.

Re: 10/20 big pot
 

looks fine. I think you need a good read that SB will do this with a lot of bad jacks/pocket pairs to do anything else.

I still can't see folding this anywhere. I mean it looks like you are in bad shape, but the pot is too big to find a fold anywhere.

Re: 10/20 big pot
 

I would cap the flop for value and to define SB's hand.

Even though you didnt do this, and thus SB's hand is somewhat undefined, I would raise the turn. SB, even though he is a TAG, could have been three-betting preflop to force out the limpers and protect a weaker jack like KJ, or JTs, which he would have called from the SB.

Re: 10/20 big pot
 

I don't like the flop cap, unless you are folding to the turn checkraise which I assume would be the case. I don't want to get pushed off the best hand here and lose the possibility to improve to the best hand. Flop cap and turn check behind would be another line, not sure how I feel about that.

Re: 10/20 big pot
 

raise the turn.

Re: 10/20 big pot
 

I dont like the turn check on a jack-high board.

It think you're overestimating the likelihood of a checkraise on the turn. Given your preflop raise and a cap on the flop, you're only getting checkraised on the turn by a set.

Re: 10/20 big pot
 

Raise turn, fold to a 3bet. I also bet the river if they both just call and its checked to me. SB's checkraise from a TAGs POV looks like a weak jack, trying to face the field with two cold from a likely pfr autobet. I think him facing the field with 3 cold with a set doesnt really make sense here. Basically, ur missing value by just calling here on the big streets IMO. Especially since UTG is such a poor player.
