I call. Seems like he's asking for a raise.

$75, fold to 3bet

Re: 200NL Give me a river line please
 

Ok before I go to bed... I don't think he's begging for a raise, but I don't think there's much value in raising either because he's unlikely to have Jx and not very likely to call with PPs lower than JJ. So either raise to some silly small amount like 60 and fold to a 3-bet or just call. I like raising to a silly amount best.

Check turn. Call river/Bet if checked to.

Why do you like checking turn?

Re: 200NL Give me a river line please
 

I don't understand the raise options. I get that this is possibly / probably a small blocking bet by villain and a call is definitely in order, but why a raise? I can't see anything that he would call a raise with on the river. If this is a blocking bet on his part, then raising it seems better as a bluff, but not good when we have showdown value such as this case.

I check the turn a lot here, and I'm probably going to call here until I learn what a bet like this means from him, but I don't think a small raise is bad either.
