Hmm. Well, in your perfect scenario, if you check, you may do better on the river on a king or a ten (5 cards), but you'll probably hurt your action on a heart (9 cards). So that seems to argue for betting. Like bigalt points out, though, there is some risk of losing JJ or even getting checkraised and paying 2 BBs to go to the river, heads-up. So I'm not sure what's best.

In a non-perfect scenario where we don't know you have 1/3 equity, I like a check.

Capping the flop seems good to me, perfect scenario or not, but I do see that making that cap could hurt your turn action if you improve. SB may fear a heart or another ten no matter what you do, but once you've capped the flop, you have given him an excuse to check the turn.

Hey Nick I'm really interested in how you think the action is going to go on a river [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], or a river 10, depending on whether we bet or check the turn (assuming we are facing AA and QQ).

At first glance I was kind of thinking that on the turn we are either getting c/r or these guys are in call down mode, so that betting the turn really only has a downside without really changing the river action.

I really don't think about these type of things well though so just wanted you to elaborate. Thanks.
