Eh I doubt he calls another bet with a hand you beat and I don't think the J is a good card to try and get him off his hand with. I vote check behind.

I think raising pre-flop is a much worse alternative to limping preflop. This isn't a tournament, we don't need to push our equity against two overs right now. We want a multi-way pot to hit a set and stack somebody... or a pot that we're not attached to and can easily get away from if we miss.

He could have something, or he could be a passive out of position retard [incorrectly] chasing the flop and the turn with big overs.

As played, I like firing the flop and turn. I agree with moose that no losing hand calls you on the river, so betting doesn't have much value. Check behind on the river.

check behind. MAybe he ahs 99-1010 trying to get you to bet again. maybe he has big Ax clubs, either way he doesnt call another bet tht wont beat you like evertyone else said.

Open-raising a SMALL pocket pair 100 BB deep from MP in a ring game is DEFINITELY better than limping?

I'll just have to agree to disagree.

im not sayyin i personally agree with it (in fact, i dont)...but the general vibe of this forum will tell u to raise ur PPs from just about everywhere

Definite check behind situation. I would expect to see a missed draw, missed overs, alot here. No value in betting the river as no less hands call you.
As far as raising preflop here...its not mandatory, but I like to open raise here..It depends alot on who's behind you, your image, etc. Blanket statements pro and con are meaningless without alot more informaton. In EP, its a definite limp.

Def check behind as played, for reasons already stated.

Curious why you 2nd barreled the 7[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] turn. Any reads against this guy, or is this pretty typical for you with most opponents given your image?
