JJ against spewmerchant - nl10

[1tripz1]

Had not been at the table long but seen main villain spew of chips with a couple of horrid hands. Multiway made this hand difficult for me.

After watching theh and back i think the flop check was weak and so was calling the turn. How would you play this any diff??

It's not so bad. The flop isn't so great with a preflop raiser with you in the hand (who didn't fold despite your massive 3-bet), and who knows what the spewer has. Seeing what MP wants to do on the turn seems reasonable.

That $1 turn bet seems weak but isn't easy to interpret in this bloated pot. Pushing is an option, but I don't think calling is that bad. (It's better than folding.)

Meanwhile, calling the spewer's river bet in this seemingly unwanted pot is easy.
