25NL, JJ overpair vs very aggressive villain

[Tomke]

Villain is 27/20/<u>8</u> over 150 hands. Do we give a very aggressive player like this credit for a better overpair/set here or do we just stack off? I am not exactly sure if it was a thinking player or just an overaggressive donk. My image wasn't very loose.

And how should this flop be played? Is it okay to lead, and how much should we bet?

I might add that he INSTAreraised on the flop, using the potbet button available on everest poker. This is usually done when players want to act strong. And we all know that acting strong, means weak right?

I think its a pretty easy fold here...your 3bet pf usually means QQ+, AK at this level, and the villain's flop raise is essentially a push.

I wouldn't expect villain to do this on such a dry board unless he is ahead with a set or QQ+.

[/ QUOTE ] I laughed at this. This isn't true from good players. I'd muck here though, players at the $25 typically do not mess around in reraised pots at all unless you're beaten. If we had KK here I'd call but wouldn't like it, I'd likely muck QQ here.
