JJ 3bet and in position

[ajmargarine]

I'm 3betting more these days preflop, to good effect. Which means I need to get better in 3b pots. So, here's a hand.

Villian is RealTired. He's multitabling, but I haven't really noticed him as being a good player. I would say he's OK I suppose as a general impression. Thoughts on flop check? River action? Comments welcome.

The only hand he could have that beats you is QQ, played timidly based on your preflop 3bet. I'm value betting 1/2 pot here. Your flop check probably confused him and might convince him you have AK unimproved.

I dont see why you checked behind the flop. This is an advantageous board to you, but at the same time quite draw heavy. I'd make a nice size bet on the flop and see where it takes me. As played, I'm not sure what he calls you with on the river that you beat, but maybe AK and some smaller PPs.

Value bet v smaller pps.

In a re-raised pot, a flop bet folds out most smaller PPs and is picked off or raised by a bigger pair. It's a little draw heavy, but HU in a RR pot I like a check behind.

Turn call in that spot is super standard.

I think the flop check is good/standard.

Not too many draws to worry about in this reraised pot other than AKs or AQs

Turn call is good too since raising doesn't really accomplish anything advantageous to you.

I'd definitely value bet the river here hoping to get paid off by 66-88 or AK

not sure on the correct bet size though, interested to hear what others say

value bet, looks like a mid pp.
