Hero ? (this is against s0cke, competent reg who knows what he's doing

he's 8/4/1 over 25 hands at the table. JJ can't be good can it?

don't fold

edit-- didn't notice board paired on river, sorry. I don't really know. This is a marginal spot where reads are really needed. I probably call though.

JJ can be good, if he's competent theres a good chance hes just betting out because of you're turn check. Call here.

Re: NL25, JJ utg vs reg
 

Well I think his range here is 22-TT, 89s, 78s, 56s, 67s, don't think he's calling flop with an ace, or flatting preflop with QQ-AA to trap, and his check/call on the flop felt like a set. Fold ?

Re: NL25, JJ utg vs reg
 

Well checking on the turn underepped your hand, but I'm not sure if he is ever doing this with air. That being said if he's betting this with any overpair, you have to call. Being as tight as he is I don't see an 8 or a 2 in this range PF, so I think his range is weigthed towards overpairs. I'd call, but maybe that's not a great play.

I think his range would be much tighter than that. I don't think he's cold-calling with suited connectors here. Sometimes he has QQ, mostly he has 99-TT. I can call here.

He can't be valuebetting these hands though. (or if he is it is very thin.)

easy call. this looks like you have overs to villain. how many times do you raise PF, cbet flop, check turn and have to fold to a bet from villain on river? yes, he might show up with an 8 here but more likely he has a worse pair than yours or overs.
