Standard against an unknown or should I excercise pot control? After villian called pf raise and donked turn i figured it would all be in by the river anyways.

I would say A(2-6-8)s that turned into trips has to be a definite possibility in your mind after he bet half the pot then called your ~pot size bet at the Flop.
Add to that he then led out on the turn with no reasonable flush/straight draw - the AI is probably setting yourself up for a real hit. Do you have any information that UTG is a maniac or had you showed a bluff / been caught recently? |

Sorry - this didn't come out right. Not many posts under my belt so I may have screwed up the abbreviations.
I'm just saying that your raise on the button could have easily been seen as a steal attempt that was called with a small pair - likely 8's but possibly even 6's or 2's. Then, unfortunately he possibly hits the 1/8 trips. I'm actually curious as to my read on the situation - could you post or PM me the result of the hand (if you know it). Cheers |

I play it the same against an unknown. He donks the flop for 1/2 pot and just calls a raise...to me this signals that he has a hand like A8 or a draw. Then he leads for 1/3 pot on the turn and I def think he has a draw or 8x. If you lost to a set or 86 or something I'd just chalk it up to variance IMO.

I was all set to say you played these J's too hard, but the more I look at it, I think you did the right thing.
The limp/call preflop reads as Axs, SC, or small pair. So does he have a set or is he drawing? The $10 turn looks like a blocking bet to draw cheaply. Coming over the top makes sense, but he only has to call $20 with a $56 pot. If he has a combo draw (A8s, 9Ts) he's getting about the right odds and makes the call. If it was a set, it was either a clever line from a good villian, or a bad line from someone who doesn't know how to deny odds. |
