Re: JJ problems ... Stars $20 NLHE
Got to bet your hand on the turn. You have a set, don't give them a chance to catch up. You are probably far ahead, there is no reason to give a free card for him to catch on a draw.
The 2 on the turn didn't help him unless he picked up a back door flush draw. No reason to fear it, fire away.
I call the bet on the river. Yes, he could have picked up the str8, but you also gave him a license to take a stab at the pot by showing weakness on the turn and river. I didn't add it all up, but I think you are getting 3 to 1 to call with a set. He may have missed, or made 2 pair with the K, and could be the only way he wins is by you folding here.
I don't think he has reason to fear you with a str8. If he put you on a draw, and you made it, you would have bet. Very risky for EP to go for a chk raise on the river. A good play (after checking the turn) may have been for you to bet on the river, and get away from it if he came over the top.
