I don't think a blocking bet will work here because you basically commit yourself, and the bet will also look like one that was scared by the river, which could induce a bluff raise. So I think the best play is to check, and decide whether or not UTG's probable bet is a bluff.

I think the easiest way to play this hand is to check the flop. That board has reverse domination written all over it. You're building a pot on the flop OOP where you don't want to see 20+ turn cards.

I check, villian goes all in (he has me covered). Now what?

[warlockjd]

Muck.

I think that he includes JJ in your possible range of hands.

Unless you have a super read or notes, drop this one.

If you see too many of these plays from him you will have to start keeping him honest, but this seems like a value bet here to me.

this is not a read [img]/images/graemlins/mad.gif[/img] pay attention to your opponents's actions

if you just sat down and this was datamined, that's one thing, but if you were at this table for a little while you should have some sort of read.
