Default Re: JJ gets doubledonked

I'm pretty confused here. Why wouldn't he bet for value here with a made hand? Bet-folding could be a good option, but I'd really like to guarantee a showdown.

This could be a T or an underpair like 77-99 as easily as it is a Q. It could also be a busted draw. Unless you also know him to be very tricky, I think you can bet the river without fear of getting raised by anything other than a hand that has you soundly beat. I favor betting the river over checking through barring the read that he is able to C/R a worse hand here (I thik he has to put you on either a FD or a decent pair like AT, JJ and pocekts like 99 or 88, QJs, etc. -- i.e., enough of a hand to take your actions on the flop and turn, but not enough to raise the turn. A turn raise may have been the play now that I think it through.
