Default Re: Value bet with two pair/trips or block bet with a pair of jacks?

I minraise here... In part for a potentially free river... and in part because if he has something nice like AJ or a set, he will likely push to the minraise. For some reason, people think if they really like their hand, and they get raised, they should just cut the shenanigans and push because it's all going in there anyways. Which is precisely NOT the case against players who raise for information.

If he comes over the top with a push, I'd fold, knowing that in the long run, I will take a lot of money from this fool when I do the exact same play with a set.

Or, I'd just fold. Calling bets at a tight table is the best possible way to lose money that I've found so far in poker.
