Default Re: How to counter a continuation bet?

Do you have any reads on your opponent? That I think is a big part of this - if he's fishy enough to call your lead with overcards, this may not be a good play. Furthermore if he's likely to call a C/R with an overpair, that's not a good play either.

I assume you lead out here with a J - I know I do - so I'd lead out. Shutting down the turn is obvious, and if he bets he's probably got a J, otherwise he has to fear you have one. What you do on the river becomes very difficult - leading seems foolish, but you could throw out a blocking bet (something I despise) or check call, depending on the size of the bet and the opponent.

Or just hit the underfull on the turn.
