3/6 Playing the middle pairs question.

[derick]

Hello my 2+2 Mentors!

I need some help on playing 99, TT, JJ and the like.

One problem I think I have is evaluating the texture of the flop and then making the correct decision on the flop.



$3/$6 Blinds No Limit Hold'em
Seat 7 is the button
Total number of players : 8
Seat 1: UTG ( $230.44 )


UTG is a 44/7/1.2 I have 300 hands on him


Seat 3: Hero ( $113 )

small blind [$3].
big blind [$6].
** Dealing down cards **
Dealt to Hero [ Jc Jh ]
UTG calls [$6].
folds.


Here in UTG+2 with one limper, I like to open raise 5BB to make the hand simpler to play later on. I'm not a fan of raising 3 BB in early position with JJ. I'm thinking I really don't want to see a flop with overcards so if everyone folds their 2 overcard hands that's fine with me.

I want go get either 1 caller for (straight value) or 5 callers (for set value).

Hero raises [$30].

** Dealing Flop ** [ 10s, 10c, Qh ]

What do you guys think of the flop texture?
Rainbow so no flush draw.
I'm not scared of a straight draw since I have 2 blockers.
I'm thinking I dislike the Qh but I'm glad no A or K came.

UTG checks.

Pot has $69 What do you do?

What hands do you put the villan on? UTG is a 44/7/1.2 I have 309 hands on him.

On the flop villan is:

raise 4%
bet 11%
call 12%
check 43%
fold 28%

With a flop af of 1.3
His went to Showdown is 30%





If I had a deeper stack would the correct move be to make a continuation bet of about half the pot? Here I push all in?
Hero bets [$83].
UTG calls [$83].
