Default Re: $27 turbo - late game postflop bluff

I'm not crazy about J9o for the preflop raise but I think the stacks are fine for a semi-steal raise in general. You can fold to a push and have enough behind to play if called.

The flop isn't terrible for a c-bet. They'll believe you have a Q and you're still not priced in to call a push. A check is fine too. If you bet and get called, you have to push the turn or lose the hand.

I'm sure the turn is a call even if you never win the pot improved.

A bet of t800 might get you a fold more often on the river, with the added bonus of being able to get away from a push. In general I hate that Phil Hellmuth "bet most of your stack and then fold because a push is always teh nutz," but J-high is never good, so it's not a problem.
