JJ

Reads: No reason to think the SB is tricky.

Preflop: I'm thinking I probably should have capped this preflop. Should I have???

Flop: I like my play here. Since he called my raise, I think he might be playing a lower PP or Ax.

Turn: Whhhoooa nelly.....didn't expect the check-raise. Does this pretty much tell me that he is saying 'hey, I can beat top pair'? So is this a fold..or did I do the right thing?

last time i played the 1/2 game at party i formed the view that when you get check raised on the turn you are beat - certainly much more than the higher limit games

with so many draws for your opponent to bluff and probably 4-5 outs folding looks like a big position but i like it

You can't beat top pair on the turn when you were CR'ed, I'd let this hand go just about all the time unless I have notes on the specific player.

I'd probably cap this most of the time.. and it looks very safe to assume that he can probably beat top pair or at the very least has AK here. I'd strongly consider folding the turn but sometimes it's rough ;-)
