My question is on the Turn. Do you see a second barrel here? AA,KK,KQ,AQ,QJ(should be blocked by me) and sets have me beat, but I'm ahead against FD (AKs, ATs), 99 and TT;

Hero (BTN): 135 BB
SB: 177.5 BB
BB: 274.5 BB
UTG: 37 BB
MP: 100 BB
CO: 96 BB

SB posts SB 0.5 BB, BB posts BB 1 BB

Pre Flop: (pot: 1.5 BB) Hero has J♣ J♦

fold, fold, CO raises to 3 BB, Hero raises to 9 BB, fold, fold, CO calls 6 BB

Flop: (19.5 BB, 2 players) 7♦ 5♥ Q♦
CO checks, Hero bets 10 BB, CO calls 10 BB

Turn: (39.5 BB, 2 players) 8♥
CO checks, Hero checks

River: (39.5 BB, 2 players) 9♠
CO checks, Hero checks

Spoiler

CO shows A♠ Q♥ (One Pair, Queens)
(Pre 43%, Flop 87%, Turn 95%)
Hero mucks J♣ J♦ (One Pair, Jacks)
(Pre 57%, Flop 13%, Turn 5%)
CO wins 38 BB

The Two Questions:
:diamond: What worse will call?
What better will fold?

OK, in this hand, we can add:
:diamond: What hand to I (sensibly) represent?

In this hand, I like checking it down, especially on the river.
Since not enough worse will call, and too few better will fold, and the best hand on that board doesn't really match our range.
If you think that you can logically represent a set or a straight, then you have to bet the river, but it has to be bet/fold unless you shove as a bluff (not recommended)

Bizarre hand? Post it in Hand of the Day!!
