ok, preflop call? turn i'm thinking hes setting up for c/r with overpair, no way he has anything less than 99 here, but thinking jj minimum. river confused me, i haven't seen this played like this in 100nl yet, although i just started, 15k hands.

dont raise the flop. no better hand folds, very few worse hands call, and your hand isn't good enough to protect against draws which he's unlikely to have anyway

I would normally raise flop. Wouldn't a low PP or even air call. I fold river, this isn't a bluff.

[Bubsy27]

Oh sorry you reraised the flop, you shoud have just called as now worse hands call.

no point in raising the flop. turn is fine. you have to call the c/r

[quaid745]

don't you want to him fold his aq-ak or other hands on the flop?

basically it's not worth the price. If he has an overpair you've just thrown away the price of a raise, if he has AK he'll just check the turn and you can bet then.
