i really hate these spots. but seriously, how often is JJ that same as AA here?

[GrandMelon]

Looks like a fold. Combo draw or set seems most likely putting you in a SA/WB situation.

double edit: thought this was NL100. guess calling and reevaluating turn is ok

[Imrahil]

I find these 2.5x raises are never great hands. I think I'd call here. Not sure if a lot of villains make such small raises with sets on such a drawy board.

Turns that suck:

any club
any 6
any 8
any 9
any Q
any K
any A

Do we really want to play this slow if we continue?

I probably with position if I'm at the table myself, but I'm starting to think I should fold more in these spots. There's just no confident way to play the hand and it's a reverse implied odds nightmare.

I was villain here.

It's a tough spot, and it's meant to be that way. Folding, calling, and reraising (less so) are all valid options for different reasons depending on the frequencies I'm using.

JJ isn't exactly the same as AA here because if I'm raising with overcards, any Q/K/A could potentially make me a hand.

2.5 raises from TAGs are air a lot.

As a side note, I made all my check raises 2.5x that night to see what happened.

say he calls the flop and villain bets 1/2 pot on the turn . . . full pot?

[Fat Nicky]
