Default Re: JJ Facing Flop Heat...My Action/Questions

I might smooth call this preflop, and look to steal on a low flop/hope to hit a J.

Since you reraised, and he lead into you on the flop, he pretty much either has missed overs and wants to steal, or has you beaten. Raising the flop is terrible here, since he certainly folds when behind and certainly calls when ahead.

This is an easy call on the flop. He's only got one pot size bet left on the turn, so you may decide to call if he bets again on the turn. But even that line has a much higher EV than raising yourself on the flop.

If you're committed to getting all in, do it in the way that gets villain to go with you with the weakest hands. This line is clearly to call the flop and let him bet the turn, or bet when he checks to you.
