Re: JJ
I dont see how UTG+1 can put you on a ten, but he can definitely push you off a better hand like a strong ace or JJ or 99 and iso with UTG who is likely on some stupid draw.
The only problem with this is you're essentially giving UTG a free card. So if I'm checking behind, I'm calling a bet out on the river by UTG+1 but NOT UTG. If UTG bets and UTG+1 overcalls I will likely fold. UTG+1's pause-and-checked could literally mean anything, but this seems like just the kind of turn a tricky LAG would try and blow you off a hand with. That seems more important to me than getting another bet of value off the idiot UTG. |

New notes for UTG+1, but it's hard to put him on exactly AQ and a bluff c/r. [/ QUOTE ] This is why I disliked betting. I said myself if I'm UTG+1 I am check raising a lot of hands here to isolate myself with the donk who is likely on a draw. This includes any made hand and strong aces if it feels right. |

[ QUOTE ] I think you did the right thing. Too bad UTG+1 is a douche who thinks he can bluff a PFR and an overcaller with A-high. [/ QUOTE ] I'm discussing this play with a friend right now. I'm not totally sold that his play wasn't decent here. [/ QUOTE ] Given the bluff possibility, has the pot gotten big enough (with the overlay from fish) to call the Turn c/r getting at worst 6.5:1 if you call another on the river and UTG folds, but at best 11:1 if the river checks through? UTG+1's bluff has to work close to 20% to be +EV. Given that fish will be showing down, essentially protecting the pot a high percentage of the time, I'm not convinced his move is winning $. |

His checkraise-bluff is hoping the fish has QJ or a non-nut flush draw and you'll fold your pair? I doubt that's decent. |

[/ QUOTE ] With AQ I can understand your argument, but I don't think it's foolish to say this is a good play on villain's part if he holds something like 66. Part of this depends on UTG's WTSD. |

Re: JJ
My amateur view on the situation is that if we bet, then its very tough for us to call if raised.
If we're behind , we still have a chance to improve to Jacks full, but we don't have the odds to call a turn check/raise, which seems very possible here. I'd rather check and take the chance to improve for free and call a river bet(in case it's a bluff) if we don't improve. |

Re: JJ
Why do you think it's a good play 3-handed against one likely better hand and another very loose opponent? I think his turn check/raise sucks.

Another friend of mine and I are discussing it now and we're doing some math based on the ranges there. I'm thinking we're going to find it to be -EV, but not by much. I could be wrong, but that's my gut feel at this point. If I know you, you would have played it the same way in my shoes. Am I right? |

Re: JJ
Yeah, I think you played it just fine. You can't really call the turn check/raise because there's no reason for him to be check/raising the turn with a worse hand with the loose opponent apparently seeing at least the river and much more likely a showdown. If you're looking at it from the opponent's point of view...you should also figure in how often he get's 3-bet on the turn.
