| NL25 | JJ against LOOSE player
 

Villain 37/10/1.5 over 70 hands. Turn bet is too much? Bet less to extract more $$ from him or is it too risky?

I think your line here is fine. villain prob has overs and called your flop bet light hoping to spike his 2 pair on the turn. Imo you have to donk the turn and your bet sizing seems right, too. The problem if he has a hand like KQ he´s not going to call a bet anyways und you can´t risk giving villain a cheap or free card to draw out on you.

PF raise to $3...On turn just shove villain only has about $15 left..If he's calling $10 he's calling $15..

Re: | NL25 | JJ against LOOSE player
 

I think you have 2 options here. Either bet 10 or check, planning to check/raise, depending on how aggro your opponent is. If he's a station I like your line, but if he's an aggro donk, you can be sure he's going to bet with any 2 when checked to thinking you viffed 2 overs. Also raise to 3.5 preflop, thats pretty obvious.

i think checking or betting here is good either way...the bet gives away your hand imo but if hes a station i like it and if u check here u can overbet the river for a call, or get c/rrai

Re: | NL25 | JJ against LOOSE player
 

Considering he has 2 cards higher than your JJ, meaning he could have KQ, AK, AQ, Ax, Kx, Qx. He could also hold lower pockets than your but i wont consider that, since he would have probably raised you.

Consider that there are 2/3 cards higher than yours that can beat you beat you, and he might raise to bluff a K or A, what are the odds of those 3 cards appearing on the river? is it 3/46?
I never play with math but to me you can value bet a pretty small amount to make it +EV no?

3 out of 46 are you serious? i suggest you go find a deck of cards and count how many aces, kings, and queens are in the deck before you decide to play poker, and especially before you give advice.

Re: | NL25 | JJ against LOOSE player
 

I think checking the turn is pretty bad. There's no reason to give a free card to 2 overcards.

Given stack sizes I don't mind a turn push.

Re: | NL25 | JJ against LOOSE player
 

Checking turn against passive player is SPEW! Why are you giving bad advice, instead of learning? Christ.

Raise to 3 is better, yes. To be honest, I was afraid of raising more, since I'm no good with JJ.
