Devin,

It's like he's got a huge range and he's folding almost none of it and your equity is close to 50%. Maybe it's a tough spot cause it really doesn't matter if you bet or not.

I think it is difficult to pick one action over the other in this case. b/f, c/c, c/f etc all have merit. My pref is to lead the turn, although I can see c/c as a viable option as well.

The issue with betting is getting raised sucks when you do have TPGK with the Js.

Edit: It is also very difficult to get a worse hand to call you here. Maybe KsQ.

if you bet, i doubt that villain is calling with a worse ace very often. the flush draw came on the turn, and of the villain's pre-flop and flop calling range, i can't imagine him calling a 2nd barrell again.

it is feasible for villain to have somehting like KK or A5, and a hand like that is only going to pay you off if you let them take the initative in the hand. i think if you second barrell, you'll get all the worse hands to fold, and all the better hands to call (sets, two-pairs etc., aren't going to fold).


if you check call, you get some value out of worse hands, and also reduce the amount of money you lose if you're behind (to a flush, a set, two pair, or AK) since they'll sometimes check behind.

Yeah, I don't see much point to betting, better hands aren't going away and worse hands aren't calling. So check/call with a SF out ZOMG.

Yeah, his bet is super-weak, put him to the test. If he trapped you, oh well.
