Kind of a tricky spot. I believe that villain was unknown at the time. Obviously a jack is within villain's range, as is a ten, and maybe a weak queen. I feel like villain is too short for me to bet a meaningful amount on the turn and fold to a raise, but that I fold out most of his drek if I lead. What do you guys think?

With villains stack size its hard to disagree. You have to be ahead of villains range here especially as your check on the turn may well have induced a bluff from the short stack.

You induced, now put the rest of his chips in the pot. His range is alot wider than just a Jack, especially with your check. Shorties will push with a very wide range, and your check is almost like a green light for them.

[Jaqrabbit]

Agreed. Put him all in. If he has the jack, you've still got six outs.
