did i miss a bet anywhere?

[dopp16]

15/30 live:

Hero is MP with JJ

folded to hero who raises

Fold to Button(Lag who's been running cold) who calls, Blinds fold

Flop is J/J/7

Hero Bets, Button raises, Hero calls?

Turn A (Beautiful I think)

Hero Checks, Button checks behind (puke)

River---Rag

Hero Bets, Button folds

Is there any proper way to play quads, I thought that a flop check would be too suspicious, but I could have either fired the turn or 3-bet the flop. Either way I think he probably had a small pocket pair and was scared of the turn A

You are not getting any more bets here, after you flat call his flop raise,and the turn brought an A. He surley has put you on AK thru Ax or a J. You have the deck crippled.

How about this line....since he is obviously trying to represent a J on the flop, try to convince him you DON"T have a J. How do you do this? 3-bet the flop! Since he's a LAG, this may convince him you are trying to re-steal with Ax, thinking there's no way you re-raise if YOU indeed had a J. This would force him to fold right here, or continue his charade, prolly by capping. Hopefully he puts you on a hand like Ax.

Now the turn is a beautiful card, do you see why?

Yeah you missed a ton...Since you are a preflop raiser, A is a terrible card for you. If he would have a good A in his hand he'd 3 bet preflop so most likely he doesn't. He is afraid of an A and not betting it and you have to bet your hand yourself. Now if you'd 3 bet the flop A becomes a great card that he my just try to bluff at ( see the logic?)...

[sandbagger223]

My thoughts exactly....he's trying to represent a J. You actually froze him with your flat call on the flop. Once you 3 bet the flop, he must cap or fold. If he caps, he's tied to this large pot, and must follow through on the turn.
