Default Jacks in the big blind.

Party Poker 1/2 Hold'em (9 max, 9 handed) converter

Preflop: Hero is BB with J[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], J[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img].
UTG calls, <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, MP1 calls, <font color="#666666">4 folds</font>, <font color="#CC3333">SB raises</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Hero 3-bets</font>, UTG calls, MP1 calls, SB calls.

I haven't been at this table long, but so far its loose. SB looks like a maniac raising with tier 3 and 4 hands. I don't hesitate to 3-bet.

Flop: (12 SB) 7[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], 9[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], 4[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(4 players)</font>
SB checks, <font color="#CC3333">Hero bets</font>, UTG calls, MP1 calls, SB calls.

I bet the flop, looking to see how SB plays his hand...

Turn: (8 BB) 4[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(4 players)</font>
SB checks, <font color="#CC3333">Hero bets</font>, UTG folds, MP1 calls, SB calls.

Passive here too. Might have a drawing hand that's been whiffing... So I bet.

River: (11 BB) 3[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(3 players)</font>
SB checks, <font color="#CC3333">Hero bets</font>, MP1 calls, <font color="#CC3333">SB raises</font>, Hero calls, MP1 folds.

I bet here. SB raises. Possibly with the backdoor heart flush. This is a must-call right?

Final Pot: 16 BB

you are getting 16 to 1 on the call that would mean that you are about 96% sure you are beaten... but in reality your pot equity is probably around 30-40%... this makes your EV hugely positive. This is a must call...

The check raise river bluff is really rare, but yeah, you do need to call here.
