odd JJ line I took

I hadn't seen the button get out of line so far. He was a little loose preflop and postflop, but not too crazy.

I like it. Betting the river costs the same as check/calling with the added benefit of sometimes folding out a better hand.

Nice play.

Thanks, that's exactly what I was thinking. It's the same in terms of BB's on the river, but I get tons more info on his hand. Plus, he could fold QJ or something similar, since I could easily have had AK from his perspective.

[/ QUOTE ]We all like winning the hand with 3rd pair, and I know it happened to work this time, but it seems pretty overly risky. If the guy called 2-bets cold preflop, and then raised on the flop, do you really think you're ahead? You called a bet on the flop AND the turn.

When the ace came, do you really think the guy won't have an ace and will fold a queen enough to make this work? I understand it costs the same as check-calling on the river, but how can you check-call with his call preflop and then pumping as much money as possible into the pot since then?

Villian could easily be putting hero on overcards, namely AK. Folding the flop or turn is pretty weak/tight, imo. I'm not 100% convinced that villian even has a Q. He could have any sort of middle pair.

Yes, I do.

It's especially tasty in this hand where it looks like hero has *exactly* AK.

If I should have folded, where is the place to do so? I didn't feel comfortable dropping this on any street.
