Tickner,
I think you played that A8o hand well. But WTF on the turn 3bet in your JJ hand? He's not folding, and you're not ahead.

Eh. I'm kind of MEH about that hand.

I do not think its an easy spot to fold. The pot is $90 when he raised $30 more. Im gettin 3-1 on a call. I could call, however many cards are scarey. I have an open ender, and an over pair. I've been getting min-raise bluffed a lot lately at $1/2. Its a very different game than $100NL. Players are more agressive (but not necessarily better). I have had to make quite a few adjustments to start winning at this level consistently. I call here often, but against this particular player, I felt that I was ahead of his bluff and I did not want to face a big river bet. Either I make a move at the pot now or I fold. I dont like folding an overpair getting 3-1, but I dont like him drawing cheaply for a free showdown when I am ahead either.

Those are my thoughts. Perhaps I should have folded. Im kinda MEH. I have a feeling a lot of you will say insta fold, but I have been doing a number of things lately that this forum might disagree with and are improving my winrate.
