This villain could be calling me with overs, FD, overs + FD, TP, 2nd Pair, 99-TT, set, two pair etc. he would have raised an overpair on flop. not sure about set or 2pair, but i am assuming he would raise that too.

Turn: ($9.95) 2[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] (2 Players)
BB checks, Hero checks

I should have fired again. I am ahead of most of his range and vulnerable and theres no need for pot control here. mistake?


River: ($9.95) 3[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] (2 Players)
<font color="red">BB bets $7.50</font>, Hero calls $7.50

I snapcall his river bet.

Results: $24.95 Pot ($1.20 Rake)

probably throw a small bet on the turn as well

The flop is two-suited and rag and with his AF I think he would have raised there with any hand that was beating us. The turn card is a total blank and we should still be ahead, but I really want to charge him in the event he is drawing to the flush or to overs. Also, JJ is such a vulunerable hand that I really don't mind taking it there. I make it $6.50 to go.

You said it yourself, you should have fired the turn. As played a call is definitely fine as your hand is pretty underrepresented.
