Horrendous call or good read 50 NL with JJ

[EMc]

I really wanna see a showdown here for a lot of reasons, so I check behind.

1. See his hand: Lets get a little bit clearer of a read
2. I have showdown value
3. I dont wanna be c/r, since this actually is a bad card v. a good card for you.

I'd make a decision on the turn, things are getting unpleasant, but BB is not doing much.

I either check for pot control, or I bet the pot.

Bet the pot is my default here, I am ahead might as well get some more in the middle.

I am ready to throw it away if all goes wrong on the river, coz there are still plenty of yummy implied odds available given stack sizes.

$7 has fallen between two stools.

River.
Well its all gone horribly wrong but thank goodness villian has checked coz I am checking behind just about everytime (barring some sort of brainstorm).
If villian shows me the flush I laugh in his tricky playing face.

But you have choosen a really weak river bet which can open the door for a river bluff.

Either way that check raise has now made life a lot more misreable.

Thanks everyone, after seeing this now I see that this is an easy check and showdown.

Last comment is that the villain here was a thinking player and he saw he could attack. When I called he showed AdTd.

I would check the turn for pot control. That wasn't the best card to fall tbh. River is the most obvious check in the history of poker. Squeezing another $8 from someone with a crappy TP or w/e is not worth the risk.
