JJ, too timid?

[Skuzzy]

If he calls a pot sized flop bet what do you put him on? My guess, he has an overpair too as he raised preflop. AA-QQ and your sunk, TT or 99 and your good. Reads are now important but with none I check the turn and probably fold to a strong bet. I just cant see much that calls here that you beat. The way you played it though is an invitation to steal. Hell now I'm much less certain than I was.


Why this line sucks is clearly that I am OOP with a suspect holding. I bet the pot on the flop and built a pot that it's going to be scary to play. Playing big pots OOP is how you go broke. Don't listen to me, I'm a walking contradiction.

Problem is that if you aren't leading here you might let AK catch a free card to beat you etc. When someone calls it lets you know your situation is likely to be marginal. He thinks his hand is good enough to play and in this case his likely holding is similar to yours. For the average player raising 99 would be unlikely, even TT is often limped in so you are probably beat here if called. Oh what a tangled web.
