Flop call is fine.

Please don't fold this. He'll have a boat a bunch of the time but he'll also have a hand like A9 or another J10 often enough that you really can't fold in a pot of this size. Realize he's also a lag.

Where in the hand is the subject referring to? Certainly no on the flop. If I called the turn I am not going to release when I hit the hand I was drawing to. Plus, with those stats he gets called down here and I think you win a good amount of the time.

bad title- I was referring to the flop call.

I wouldn't even really consider folding on the flop.

I think your OESD is worth too much, and your overcards could have some value too.

If UTG+1 happens to have a flush draw, then that's not ideal, but you will make a straight by the river without having a third heart fall about 19 percent of the time. You're going to make a straight almost a third of the time. And you'll spike a pair or make a straight a little over half of the time.

This seems like too much hand, to me, to think of giving up just because the LAG raised and I have to call two cold.
