Why don't you raise the turn? If the next player is really "crazy" he'll probably be calling your raise. I don't see going for overcalls here as you only have one more player and you can't be worried about much.

I'm not at all worried about the crazy behind me. I'm worried about the rock 3betting me. Live games are notoriously passive. If some guy, especially a tight guy, is 3betting me, I'm not convinced he's doing it with KJ enough to make raising +EV. Since 72 isn't in his range of hands, I don't think that the turn J changed anything. Either we're still way ahead of KJ, or we're way behind 77 or 22 (outside chance at J7). Hmmm. I just reread the read. Sees a lot of flops, but is tight? I guess I'll need clarification about this. Also, was the tight guy in the BB? This is important since you limped preflop.

the guy wasnt a rock , he would see a lot of flops but would only wake up and bet with a big hand, so that is what worried me.

Then you mean passive, not tight. Tight/loose refers to how many hands they play. Passive/aggressive refers to how much betting/raising they do in a hand.

Bad play or cold decked?

[/ QUOTE ]
I'm having such a hard time figuring this out. Who's cold-decked here? Cause the hero I'm seeing went runner-runner for the win out of a flaming hot deck...

As for the hand, I'd raise preflop, but everything else looks OK.

I think we just picked up a glaring tell on the crazy guy. Anytime he just calls on the flop is our signal to abandon our cards and grab a cold one from the bar.

cold deck is referring to a set up deck where a lot of players have good hands. And there was no folding a set of jacks with no over cards and the best kicker. I think on the same night I had a hand like this.

AQ suited of diamonds.....flop comes A 10 8 with one diamond
mama (old chinese lady) bets i raise, she 3 bets i call
turn is a J of diamonds, I bet she raises I call
turn is a diamond, I bet she calls

She had a set of 8's that didnt hold up to my nut flush

"cold deck" usually means you haven't gotten good cards, as in "I played at the casino for 4 hours but was so cold-decked I only played 5 hands".

you have trip jacks, not a set. set = pair in your hand. trips = pair on the board.

anyway.

raise pf.
raise the turn.

Actually, both usages of cold deck are correct. LINK
