Default Re: JJ - a small overpair hand and a funky line - $200 NL

Do you really think AT will look you up here after you 3-bet preflop? I really don't. The board is full of draws and you reraised preflop, so not leading here looks very fishy. Seems like by taking this line you aren't getting called by anything that you beat, and getting called often when way behind. Sure, you are shutting possible draws out on the turn, but you are making them play right by folding, instead of letting them make a mistake. I don't like it.

I think it's an interesting line. As you played, how about check raise all in on turn.

Lag usually fire twice with draws or random pair T or 8s, right? Let him make a crying call. Vs your line, if he has you beat on turn, you lost same amount but you get more from his bluffing or crying call with AT etc.


If he check behind, depends on river card, sometimes I check call sometimes I blocking bet.

You reraise PF and all in on turn is too strong for him to call you with AT I think.

I might be totally off here. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

If he's LAG and bad-ish, he's probably not the type to check behind a blank turn, whether he has a hand or draw or whatever. I feel like you can get all in on a turn checkraise a good chunk of the time here.

And I'd usually just lead the flop (for about 35). you were the preflop reraiser and even lags will often check this flop behind with air (and there are LOTS of bad cards for you on the turn). If he raises I probably get it all in.

I love how confusing your line is, but against this guy in this spot I don't think this is the time for it. keep that in the playbook though.

I kind of like the flop line, but they almost never stop betting on the turn if you check again. Since you are willing to stick all your money in, check-raise it in there to make more when he is on air; this play also entices him to call with an A 10 type hand as he will be priced in
