Default Re: JJ facing < 1/2 pot donk on A high flop

This is a tough spot. PF, I would have made it 350 or 400 to go due to your stack size. Since he called in the BB getting more than 2-1 on his money, he could easily be semi-bluffing with two hearts. I think you can discount a big ace (AK or even AQ) as he would probably be coming over the top of you for all his chips after you PF raise. If he flopped two pair with something like A10, he may be checking this to you in hopes of you having a bigger ace and bet the flop. Problem here is you can't just flat call to see he his action on the turn since you don't have a big enough stack. All in all, laying this down is probably the best play. Although I can't get away from the feeling that his bet here is a semi bluff. I mean, wouldn't he want to protect his hand more (if he had an ace and thought he was ahead) due to the flush draw out there??
