JJ CO - Vilan 32/29

Maybe good to give also your own thinking process during the hand. Then it’s easier to give good feedback here.

I would normal 3bet JJ in a 6 handed game against a unknown MP opener and further your line looks pretty good to me.

We can 3bet preflop, but calling is also fine imo. I think that flop and turn are fine. River is probably a fold. I don't see him betting worse. Call is also not terrible imo.

I like the call here as we are IP. I think we can stab flop already to charge for draws.

I closed the thread and quickly saw a spoiler and went back to check. Indeed, we should bet flop here.

I agree that betting the flop was the better line. Also, the river call we need to be ahead 27% of the time. I don't see that being the case. He's either checking a flopped 2 pair, a Kx(he's probably betting more of these though for protection), a Tx or a draw. When he check/calls the turn it pretty much confirms this range and eliminates most of the Kx hands. The sizing of the river bet pretty much rules out AT, QT, JT (Though those hands would fairly often have bet the turn as well). I think the river is a fold. Maybe if the bet size was <$0.30 I can justify calling here. But we're just not beating enough of his range here to make this call.

I like it as played until river. River is a fold.

We should fold river, indeed.

3b pre, bet flop. Fold river.

Turn: Bet slightly bigger. You can be sure he hasn't a value hand (checked twice). Your sizing is okay if you intend to fold river if it comes out the way it did.

Here is the reason: If you tempt them in with small bets and then pay off to fulfill their implied odds, then they make no mistake (but you do). But if you decide (on turn) that you'll fold on a bad card, then you don't make any mistake, but they did (called without proper implied odds). The actual outcome doesn't matter. It is in the long run you win.
