Can I fold this????

[noob_sauce]

raise pre-flop... w/ position vs. a sb open limper definite.

Given how the hand played out it seems like it could be an overplayed two pair... I think I go with a call here, but it is close. (eh... the more i look at it, the further I get away from from folding...)

[Zagga]

I would call.

Raise Preflop and raise more on turn tho.

Does anyone like a checkbehind here?

[yeotaJMU]

i like a raise preflop.

raise more on the flop. make a bigger bet on the turn. at this point he will have called a raise and a big bet, i think i check behind on the river. even though we may lose a bet to just a Q or a lesser two pair we wont get raised by a set or a straight (i would say he has 9 10 here as played)

[hoyasaxa]

im going to put in a raise against a small blind limper about 75% of the time anyway just to take advantage of my position. Moreso with a hand like qjs, which i love in this situation.

I would raise about the size of the pot on the flop. If he bets into you like that I dont really put him on a set. So go ahead and raise him.

I do kind of like a check on the river. Something seems really weird to me when someone calls a raise, then check calls again on such an uncoordinated board. And considering one of the two straight draws got there, I dont think a check is a bad idea.

Raise pf.

bet more on flop and turn.

Id call river.

[danny8]

raise pf, you're so far ahead of his range

raise the flop more for value and protection, ~$2-2.5

as played bet more on the turn. I think checking behind on the river is pretty bad here and leaving money on the table, nothing suggest you're beat (so far)

i call the river, could be a bluff, a J or a lower 2pair etc

[kayfish77]

no lone jack is ever check raising here. why would he turn a hand with showdown value into a bluff? youre getting 2.2:1 i think and its your call. you haven't post reads but does he make a habit of limping big hands in bvb? does overplay hands? how often do you check this river behind (can he expect u to bet?) has he gotten tricky? readless this is a call i think. either way make a note on him.

[orange]

raise PF. you have position and a decent hand.

raise the flop a bit harder. its semi drawy and we can get more value. i like $2.

bet the turn harder. more value, as stated.

its also close on the river, but i call.

[cata1yst]

Am I a nit if I would check behind on this river?

[spyderracing]

I don't think you can fold there

[Pirelli]

I would raise this PF being in position.

Raise the flop a little more. Bet the turn a little more 3/4 pot seems better.

I think checking behind the river is good. Sure, you will lose value sometimes, but it makes sure this stuff doesn't happen, and often he will be on a weak made hand or a draw so there is no value in betting.

As played his hand looks like T9 or a set and I would tend to lay it down if you don't have any reads.

[Stake Monster]

Raise PF, raise more on the flop (what kind of raise is that)

I check behind on the river here unless the guy is a very weak player and I know he won't put me to the test like what he just did. He's either bluffing or he has you beaten. It's very read-dependent for me.

yes.

Raise that flop more, It smells of "let me draw cheap, teehee". Bet more on the turn.

[Sir Winalot]

I would raise preflop with any two cards, and I'm dead serious. You have position and his limp probably means he doesn't have anything. Raise that [censored] up!!

I would raise flop to 2-2.5 and bet way closer to pot on the turn. I'd probably bet something like 2/3 to 3/4-pot on river. I'm not sure if shoving river is any good even in a blind battle, I'd probably just call there.
