Betting builds a pot, and there's always a chance he'll shove over with a big draw.

Checking lets me get in a checkraise (which is necessary to get all the chips in, two streets of PSBs won't do it), and it lets him improve if he has a weak draw.

Any advice on what his range may be, and how best to extract ? If bet, how much?

1st I would bet not check - if he is on a draw he might check behind and you might miss the last chance to get more chips into the pot.

The board is really drawheavy so I would bet about 500 on the turn.

If he hits the flush you will be able to get it in on the river anyway - if he misses he might try a bluff.

You have to bet here...525-625 sounds about right.

c/f, villain has a straight flush.

you gotta bet here, I would only check with the idea of CRAI. not likely to work out well with your/villains stack sizes.

Re: 4/180 vulnerable hand becomes near-nuts
 

yeah, okay, I actually bet 550, but later I was thinking maybe this would be a spot for a CR, which I don't do enough.

Thanks for the confirmation, though, boys.

I think leading the turn is fine with the full house... I'd be more inclined to CR with a hand where you didnt really mind a fold...

What he said ^^

In addition, if the river bricks, I would tend to check this to induce a bluff from busted draws. You probably won't get any value otherwise.

I think you should be raising to more than 80 utg+1 with JJ. You don't want that much action out of position.
