Re: JJ overpair facing aggression
Alright, I'd like to define villian's range and then move on from there.
Villian seems to be extremely LAGGY. That being said, the lag could have 7-10 through A-10 here and be betting out with top pair. If he's EXTREMELY loose and fishy, I guess we could put a 10-5, 10-3 or 3-5 in the realm of possibility but I really doubt it.
There is no real draw other than the straight draw. A LAG player could bet out with A-2 through A-5 here.
Those are the possiblities in which he caught a part of the flop. He very well could have absolute air here as well.
You are behind a wierd two-pair or a set here. I don't think he has an overpair due to the lack of a raise PF.
So I really feel as if you are ahead here most of the time.
I'd raise to $24. It lets the villian know that you are serious about your hand. With no other reads than his loose nature, this hand could get difficult by the turn. So raise on the flop and be happy to take it down.
If he smoothcalls, I raise many turns. If he reraises on the flop, I think I call and stack his inferior pair.
Hope this helps.
