Default Re: Donking it up at the 215s

First off, I think raising utg with the JJ is fine. You don't want a lot of people in this pot.

Second, I don't understand the overbet on the flop. I think 2/3 to full pot bet is fine. It shows you're strong and gives them terrible odds to draw.

The fact that you got a call would scare me.

The turn looks harmless, so if you're aggressive go ahead and bet again. Probably 1/2 the pot is fine. Again, if your opponent is on a draw, you are not giving him the correct odds, but it's small enough to tempt him.

The call on the turn pretty much tells me I'm in trouble. Here's the range of hands I think I'm up against: A-10, JJ, QQ, KK, AA, a set. The flush draw seems a remote possibility now that my opponent has called off half his chips.

I check on the river because I am done spewing chips. If he bet's small enough on the river that I'm getting over 4-1 on the call, I may waste the chips to look him up. Otherwise I am praying he checks it through.
