Villain unknown. I haven't been at the table long, but in that time I've played one significant hand. I reraised an UTG raiser with KK, checked behind flop and turn on ace-high board, then raised his PSB on the K river. He lost with AJ. Villain in this hand commented how badly he played that hand.

PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em, $0.50 BB (5 handed) internettexasholdem.com (http://www.internettexasholdem.com)

Hero ($70.10)
MP ($28.85)
Button ($144.20)
SB ($53.05)
BB ($38.40)

Preflop: Hero is UTG with J/images/graemlins/spade.gif, K/images/graemlins/spade.gif.
<font color="#CC3333">Hero raises to $2</font>, MP calls $2, <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, SB calls $1.75, <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>.

Flop: ($6.50) 2/images/graemlins/heart.gif, J/images/graemlins/club.gif, 9/images/graemlins/club.gif <font color="#0000FF">(3 players)</font>
<font color="#CC3333">SB bets $2</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Hero raises to $8</font>, MP folds, SB calls $6.

<font color="blue">Looks like a typical draw blocking bet.</font>

Turn: ($22.50) Q/images/graemlins/club.gif <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>
<font color="#CC3333">SB bets $5.5</font>, Hero calls $5.50.

<font color="blue">Ugh. They all get there. Should I just fold?</font>

hmmm....I folding here seems so wrong but this has really bad Reverse Implied odds. I fold, since you are beating nothing.

I think you're calling to hit 3 outs that you hope are clean. I fold, villain's bet looks too enticing.

Raise more on the flop.

As played, I'd rather fold here.

We're only beating some badly played Jx hand. And if that's the case, we'll get our chips back.

Oh, and IMO calling is the worst option here. Any club or T is freerolling this way.
Rather raise and give up if called/reraised.

Fold now and get off cheap. Since you called there's $22 in the pot and you have 2nd pair 2nd kicker. Turn was a bad card, so yell "[censored] you pokerstars" at your comp and fold turn because you will most likely be facing a big bet on the river when you could already be drawing dead.
