Re: JJ with two overcards on board
[ QUOTE ]
I like c/c for turn and river, although this is a nasty little spot.
1) Pot is too big and there is too much chance he has pocket pair to b/f.
[/ QUOTE ]
Yes, but how often does he raise a worse PP - close to never in my estimate, unless he is a known maniac.

2) You don't want him to get away from his smaller pocket pair so easily if he has one. You can likely induce 1 or 2 bluffs by checking.

I think when you c/c (especially two streets) you are getting value bet WAAAY more often than you are inducing bluffs. There are a lot more hands that are beating us than the other way around.

3) There are no draws to worry about giving a free card to.
[/ QUOTE ]
That is true, but I think giving up the lead is just asking ourselves to get v-bet to death. Also, what about the times villain gives up on QQ or the other JJ when we keep barreling away at this turn?
If I bet this turn and get called again, I am likely c/f the river unless I spike a J. Is that bad?
