Default Re: 200NL...I keep swearing I\'ll stop this...2 barrel bluff (or 3)

If you have TT or JJ and fold this more than 75% of the time, then, no offense, but I want you in my game. You check called the villian into putting his stack in while you had an overpair...and then folded getting 3:1 when ONE overcard came?

Not trying to be snooty, but that is the utter definition of weak tight.

It sounds like your problem with check-folding the river isn't with folding, but with getting into that spot in the first place. Agreed that Villain's play to this point is poor if he intends to check-fold the river, but, in a vacuum, folding to a push is correct. TT-JJ will not be ahead often enough to make calling profitable, and I don't think it's close. Again, AQ is virtually the only plausible holding that TT-JJ beats.

This understates the importance of that K[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]. It's not just one overcard. It pairs AK and completes the flush, thus demolishing the range of plausible hands that TT-JJ beats.
