I was playing this on my phone so I cant remember exact stacks etc
888poker.es Snap 6max, so its a fast fold game

I cant remember the exact suits of my Jacks, I think I may have had J♣:J♠:
Hero HJ JJ 180BB
BU 100BB

Hero raises to 30c
BU calls
SB & BB fold

Flop A♥:2♦:5♦:
Hero bets 36c
BU raises to 1.09
Hero?????

I have been having great success with cbetting any flop whether I hit it or not and getting folds virtually every time, but seeing as I actually do have a hand Is this a flop I should be c/c?
At these levels people rarely raise their draws & sets, but they do bet much bigger whenever there is a FD, if they have TP they usually call or min raise, but the FD may be making him raise bigger with his :Ax:
Would you play it differently if I had the J♦:?

I think is easy fold.

In turn there are not many cards that will improve your hand, and you dont want call two bets more for see the showdown.

This is a great way to loose money:

How much of a hand do you actually have with the ace on the flop?
But you do get good value from your bet, with the re-raise you can assume the villain has an ace and protecting the FD.
Most of the time, your chance to win is about 8%! (12% with Jack of diamond).

It is difficult folding pocket-pairs, but it saves you a lot of money!

Cheers!

I agree with djchals,

In this spot JJ looks so vulnerable.

With J♦: i didn't call too. I only call when the villan made a mini raise (because the oods ). Imagine you call on the flop, do you call Turn to see river card? It's difficult because your opponent looks agressive and i think he will bet all streets

You open from HJ, your range is strong so I think cbet is ok. He is going to fold a lot. He can be raising flush draws, we can call flop and check fold turn, if the flush doesnt complete he might check behind (in that case we can bet small on the river). If he bets again on the turn we have an easy fold.

This is a situation where we are either way ahead or way behind, but because of the flush draw I think bet is better than xc. Otherwise check call is better.

What do you mean is a great way to lose money?
cbetting any flop with ATC?
or cbetting this flop with my hand?
