Re: $109 Party Hand - Trip Jacks vs. another big stack on river
I don't know about that. I've often found this to be a leak in my online game but in situations like this I often hear my imaginary commentator saying "the only way he can win this pot is if he bets at it." It's very possible that a big bet by the villain would get even top pair to fold with the Jacks pairing and a possible flush. So yeah, I think a good player may bet 77 here.
Now, I say it's often a leak because it seems like everytime I make such a bet I get called by a hand that *should* have folded. But I think that has a bit to do with the fact that I'm not making a huge bet - just enough to make him think I want to call - figuring that's a stronger play. Again, I might think it's a stronger play but my opponents often don't.
So I think a good player could bet 77 here if he thought his opponent was also a good player.
