Any read on the button? J10 is a strong possibility here. Any particular reason you didn't raise the flop? I'm asking because I don't know. Looks like you have the BB trapped at least. I can see wanting MP1 to overcall here, is that the line you were using?

The turn card sucks. Did you consider that the button may have flopped trips and filled up when he capped?

I would (and have) called the 3 bet here, and called a river bet.

I was slowplaying on the flop. I don't do it often, but this seemed like the time.

Seems like you played it goot.

I don't like it. You want the singleton jacks to raise you and you want the BB to get happy to his overpair. No one's going to put you on a flopped boat here, so what's the point of slowplaying? Bet and jam, jam, jam.

If you do that, begin to fear flopped quads or TT when he raises you on the river. Actually, I don't know if I could fear TT because your flop play never gave your opponent a chance to "wake up" on the turn. But I'm guessing the button had AJ or KJ.

Yeah that's what I'm thinking. I needed a good smack in the face. Thanks.

Now that we've determined you botched this hand, how 'bout giving us the results! [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

BB shows 27o.

He was on the draw....

Pretty please put as many flop bets in as you can. You already have a full house and it'd be tragic if someone got a better one cheaper than possible. I also don't slow down despite the fact that JT is a reasonable holding for villain, since you're ahead of any other hand and any jack with a good kicker could be played this way.
