Preflop - Standard

Flop - Standard

Turn - Standard. I'd hate to raise here for a free showdown and then get 3bet forcing me to fold.

River - MP3 betting out while he called 2 cold on the flop is very fishy. I don't think he made a set of JJ. He could be slowplaying a monster all the way to the river, maybe 77. I would probably just call the river instead of rasing it. You're likely to be called only by the better hand here rather than something you beat.

Why would you fold to a 3-bet?

Why would you be raising for a free showdown?

That's too aggressive.

What hands are you worried about Nick? I really doubt villain would play a set like this. I'm expecting just a pair here most of the time. Sometimes a set, flush draw, or straight draw. I defenetely think there is an argument for raising the turn for value.

I agree, this check/raise looks like a weak hand trying to clear the field and hope we're on overs. But how often will this weak hand (probably a mid PP) cap the flop when we're telling him we have a big pair? I'm not sure. And I don't think all 2/4 players realise bet/3-betting is the best thing to do. I think many players check/raise the flop when they flop a set here just because they flopped a set and they know we raised preflop.

Still I think the quite suspect lines he's taken justfies a turn raise. Especially since it's one extra player in the pot. HU I probably just call down.

Good points!

Just look at the action preflop and flop. What's the point of raising the turn when you'll only get 3bet by a hand that beats you. You can't force the guy a fold in this situation because he's not going to fold AA,KK,JJ. If I raise the turn I'm folding to a 3bet because I'm more likely behind here with 2 outs than ahead.
