NL50: JJ line check
 

I have just moved up to NL50 and the play seems a lot tighter than NL20. Comments please on all streets. Villain was 13/3/3 over 191 hands.

In hindsight I wish I'd made by flop bet a bit larger, but if this flop bet looks weak then WTF is villains turn bet all about? I would likely have folded to a proper turn bet and also to a strong river bet.

I would have bet a little more on the flop, but the turn is fine. How can you fold to a $4 bet.

I wouldn't call much on the river, but I might call a very small bet. Probably just villain stringing you along -- pretty pathetic play on villain's part, though. That turn bet is just horrible. He did get you to call.

the flop bet looks fine. He might have had a weak kicker and put you on a heart draw. people love to 2/3 bet out their flush draws.

villain's play doesn't make any sense and just looks bad. unless he had a monster and wanted to look like he didn't know what he was doing.

I think since you checked the turn CO thought you had whiffed overcards, so he fired off a small bet to see if he could take down the pot. I would call the turn bet, and check and call any reasonable river bet.

Bet $5-5.50 on flop.

Turn is fine. I like c/c better then b/f becuase we might still be good and we have a straight draw, and I don't want to get blown off the pot.

I plan on c/c'ing another lame bet on the river.
