Default Re: Overpair JJ in position on a draw-heavy board

Ummm....no you're not giving him anywhere near the odds to call his flushdraw and I'm happy to get in here everytime with against the draw. If you have a read that you think someone will call the allin with the draw then go for it, but I'd prefer a heavy raise and turn push to any relative blank. After I raise the pot or so on the flop I'm still shoving against the nonspade Ace with the caller. Only thing I slowdown on is a spade.

Also I think you can raise to more than 90 preflop with 2 limpers already before you. Overall I think you're pretty screwed on the hand, you can certainly play the keep the pot small game on the flop but you've got a vulnerable hand that's well worth protecting and almost is certainly still best, so giving cheap/free cards is a significant mistake in my opinion. Only way you're avoiding this is possible with the larger PF raise getting the A9 SOOTED out but that's admittedly unlikely.
