Re: Line check
 

bet more on the flop in hand 2, a standard cbet would be about $14

I dont like the turn checkraise, You've likely got the best hand but you are very vulnerable, why give him the option of a free card? Then when you do raise you still give him good odds

Re: Line check
 

Did you have a read on SB in hand 1? Or just assuming a wide range because it was BvB?

I'm new to NL still and trying to figure out how to best play TT/JJ and when 3bet PF with no read it seems a bit suicidal to push the flop. Higher pairs are going to call and dominate and if SB is just c-betting with ace high on the flop and you call behind, SB could fire again and make you more $$$. Or is that too passive with TT/JJ even 99 on this flop?

Re: Line check
 

basically, the only question after I call the 4 bet is how often am I ahead of his PF range on this specific flop.

After his 1/2 potter the pot was 180, and there was 140ish left to put in. The 140 goes in or it doesn't. If his PF 4 bet range has AK and AQ its probably a push, even more so if you add 88 and 99. If not then it is probably a fold.
