Villain: 25/15/2.3

i thought he might fold a hand like AJ, KJ no hearts but he didn't so im not sure about the raise being the correct move

The fact that nearly all his weaker hands call the turn raise and practically none of his better hands can 3bet is a decent reason to raise. Sugar coat that with your super sweet draw and the fact that you're never getting a river bet from his weaker hands and I like how you played this.

Re: JTo Semibluff turn
 

I like it.

Re: JTo Semibluff turn
 

I'm not a fan of folding-equity plays on the turn (seems like no one ever folds to me!!), but this is a great spot to do it.

if u're going to raise the turn, i think u need to bet the river.

Oh wait, nm, u have a pair. I misread the hand. I think this hand looks good then.

Re: JTo Semibluff turn
 

This is nice 4-handed. I was going to advocate throwing away JTo in a 6-handed game UTG though, is that wrong?

Re: JTo Semibluff turn
 

Really on the fence on this one, because we have to call a 3-bet on the Turn, and it could get us into a RIO situation if we do improve.

I'll think this one over, but I guess it would depend heavilly on his likelihood he would fold QQ-AA, and how aggressively he might play a naked A or K [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] on this turn, A [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]Jx or something like that.

Whats your 3-betting range for him?
