Top set gets raised on the river
 

I used to post here a bit and read a lot, now I don't. But now I'm playing limit more, so there you go.


I raise UTG w/black JJ.
UTG+1 (13vpip, 12pfr) 3bets.
UTG+2 (99vpip, 0pfr) cold calls. He has 2 cards.
Folded back to me, I call.

FLOP
8h 5d Jd
I check. Bet, call, call

TURN
6h
I check. Bet, call, I raise, call, call

RIVER
4h
I bet, get raised by the TAG, calling station folds, and I ...

raise, because he's overplaying AA-QQ, or call because of the flush possibilities, or fold for the same reason?

i just call here. im assuming the TAG nkows that you are also TAG so hes not gonna raise AA-QQ here most of the time. Also if he does have something like AKh, youre gonna get 3bet after you raise and its hard to fold with top set.

why did you just check call the flop?

I'm a moron and misread hand action. This is a lot closer than I initially thought.

Re: Top set gets raised on the river
 

3-bet the river as there are more combos of AA-QQ than AQ[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]/AK[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img].

Re: Top set gets raised on the river
 

12 pfr is pretty aggressive, he's probably 3-betting AQh and possibly even KQh.

Your check-call-check-raise is pretty strong. He may be using the save-a-bet line with AA, but honestly I just don't see many players use this. More likely, he just made a flush.

I have enough doubt that I'm certainly not folding. I'd recommend just calling though.

good luck.

ps. getting 2:1, you should cap preflop.

Re: Top set gets raised on the river
 

I think it is safe to assume that UTG+1 is going to bet this flop and that UTG+2 is going to come along. So i advocate for c/r this flop. And then proceeding to lead and jam this turn, and im bet/calling this river.

I think that by being more aggressive on the flop and continuing that agression on the turn, UTG+1's possible AK/AQ [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]'s may not make it to the river?

Can we rule out AJ[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]? That is a good possibility for UTG+1 considering his high PFR.

Because I was pretty sure calling station would let me check raise the turn, and I could get 2 BBs from both there.

Re: Top set gets raised on the river
 

Lead the flop and hope to get raised. Of check raise the flop. Not getting in an extra bet is a sin.

On the river - you can't fold. Call and expect to see AK [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]

This is true, but does a reasonable player raise this river with AA-QQ? Remember, calling station is still hanging around when the action first gets to the TAG. If I've got AA in this spot, I'd probably like to see a showdown and hope the see my AJ or QQ
