Big Fold with Top Two

Here is a hand I played yesterday. 5-5 Blind I have 800 and Villian has same. I called UG's $15 raise with 44. flop is A42, check check, J turn he bets 40 i suspect JJ I make it 80 he calls river 3 he checks I bet 150 he calls and shows JJ, trips. I lose. About 45min. later same guy makes it 15 UTG, i call button with KJ small blind calls, three players. Flop is KJ2, small blind leads for 15 UTG calls I call 15 and raise 85, small blind folds UTG calls and raises 250. I couldn't see him doing this with AK or AA considering how he played 3 jacks. Toughest fold in a while but I layed it down. Is that just stupid?? Oh yeah very first post. Todd

First hand = bet flop
Second hand = Fold preflop. Thats a very good flop for you.. however he smooth called first bet, then reraised your raise = just about biggest sign of strength possible. Can this mean AK/AA from him though? If so, ill gladly go broke if he has KK/JJ, which are both very unlikely due to your holding.
You have to be the judge as far as how good your read was that he can't have AA/AK here, I can't comment on that. Just throw it away preflop, either way.


Oh, and welcome to the board.

Is villain savvy enough to remember how he bet the set last time in hopes of getting you off of a strong hand by playing it this way?...

And why call his pre-flop raise holding only KJ? But if you choose to, I think you're married to this hand on that flop...
