You're afraid of exactly two hands, JT and T6. How likely is he to have these hands? You must have some kind of read, but usually a call is ok here. He'll have a 6 at least though (you'd think).

I don't get it, enlight me, where is the problem? Are you afraid of T6?

oops, JT too.... Hmm, tough spot, I think the pot is big enough to warrant a call though.

They're not both just going to have a 6, are they? I think someone's turning over JT here.

Or a set, or two pair, or A9... this is a 27. If someone has JT oh well.

You can start to worry about these kinds of things in buyins over $100.

why did you overbet the pot?

How many times do we put ourselves in these situations with trash hands in the BB? I'm not sure how you fared on this hand, but 26o and it's not the nuts I try and keep this pot as small as possible and not think twice about letting it go to a huge raise.

Maybe I'm thinking too much in these then, but I really don't think those hands are checking that flop. I suppose that leaves 77 and 87 catching on the turn.

Does villain's check-raise on the turn mean anything? If he's behind, does he really think neither hero nor the caller have a 6?

Why not? Maybe he's a donk who whiffed on a flop check-raise?

because the board was double suited. two spades and two hearts i think. i didn't want to bet 2/3 of the pot only to have one guy call and give the other guy decent odds (pot and implied) to call on either flush draw. i probably should have just bet the pot.
