A couple of JJ hands
 

HAND 1

Villain is 62/22/3.75 over a sample of 50 hands, he doesn't need an ace to call the flop, maybe I should have bet $3 instead I dunno.

HAND 2

Villian had played one hand out of the first 26 at the table, so i had him down for a rock which might have been premature, but you have to admit its more likely than him being a 60/20 lag, his turn bet makes me think he''s most likely on AA KK or AQ, dunno though I couldn't see a way of not losing a lot when behind and winning little when ahead, without giving him a lot of information for the river.

First hand, flop bet isnt that bad but maybe 2/3 is optimal. fire again on turn, then you know where you are at, however as played he bet small on river so calling is fine but imo he bets this with k high.

Hand two, 3bet preflop, as played call turn and call a decent sized bet on river if he fires again.

Re: A couple of JJ hands
 

Hand one, more on the flop. I may consider firing the turn. As played river's okay but I'd fold if he bet more.

Hand two 3bet it preflop, otherwise I think its okay.

26 hands is not a sample, and still yes

Re: A couple of JJ hands
 

I think you played them both fine. Sometimes ill check behind on flop 2 and bet a safe turn (this is kinda foriegn to me though b/c i typically 3bet pf).

and about the 3bet. FWIW Ive talked to Kaz about spots like this and there is actually a post about it in SSNL where a tighter/good opponent does not have a wide callin range after being 3bet OOP so there really is no value in 3bettin hands like JJ/AQ when we have position. People that suck 3bet away cause there callin range is who knows what. IMO this makes a lot of sense and im goin to try it out and see how it works...

Re: A couple of JJ hands
 

hand one i make it my normal cbet size. and then if he calls i quit on the hand. altho depending on my mood i may consider calling the river since it is just redic. lol.

hand 2 looks fine to me. i do about the same. sometimes i fire a 2 barrel if my image is bad or w/e
