Flopping the Joint

[Jeffage]

30-60 Bellagio. I have 9 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]8 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] in the BB, 3 people limp, SB limps and I check.

Flop comes 7 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]J [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]10 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]. I bet, unknown UTG (30-something) raises, folded to a player in LP who 3-bets. Folded back to me and I 4-bet, UTG calls cold and LP calls. I know LP, and he plays decently in a generally straightforward manner and respects my game.

Turn card comes the J[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]. Your action and plan for the rest of the hand?

Thanks,
Jeff

bet turn call down raise.

That's not the joint. That's a jalopy.

I'd check the turn and reevaluate when the action is back on me. I've been in this exact spot before and it's obviously very hard to get away from this hand. But if it's 2 more big bets back to you on the turn I think you're pretty much cooked. A lot depends on what you think the guy in LP thinks you have.

Put him on JTs and open muck?

That is a pretty sick turn card but I think you have to bet. put pressure on UTG and make sure no one gets any free cards. Deal with a raise when it comes, depending on how and from where.

No, I didn't say that. I said I would reevaluate when it came back to me. The last sentence of my post is what I'd be thinking about during the turn action.

bet, and call down a raise.

sure JT could be out there, but so could the same hand as yours, or two hearts.

if it goes bet, raise, 3-bet then you've got a problem.

[StrictlyStrategy]

if we check and it goes bet-raise are we calling?

Bet, call one raise, fold to two.

I think I like this the best. I don't like checking and folding to a bet and a raise because I think many would raise the turn with just a J.
