Re: Overpair vs. bluffer, 50NL
I think that the best line here is to check the turn behind and let him go to town on the blank river. A bet here feels very wrong to me, I just cant see how betting this turn is going to yield you any value. You certainly can't stand a raise, and betting here makes the pot too big for JJ.
As a side note, his range makes this very difficult to play given that he could have so many hands here, and given that he's so bluffy, you just cant ever be sure where you stand. I feel like checking this turn is pretty good damage control becuase it pours water on his fire, making it very difficult to extract from a set on the river without overbetting which we can easily fold.
What would be really useful would be to know what his capabilities are on the turn ie. if he is capable of floating the turn again with nothing. But then again, even so, we just get raised/called by better and fold out worse. I think I like a check here.
Really tough spot tho.
