JJ

[jat850]

No reads on players, especially those behind you? What is your table image? How long have you played at this table and how have you been running?

If my image was new or good, I raise to test where I am at half price before the turn card. If I get 3 bet, now I give real serious thought to folding.

On the other hand I played JJ recently and had KQx flopped against me and an A on the river only to find that all 3 against me drawing to flushes or playing other really stupid cards. I bet into the KQx from an early position but chickened out and checked on the A river card. I was surprised to find that I won at showdown.

The current and potential size of the pot suggests that I stay and raise to test where I am and I want to find out before the turn at 1/2 price. I raise.
