I think I'd rather have one opponent than two when I'm value-betting Jacks-up on the end. Having two opponents makes it significantly more likely that we're beaten. You wouldn't bet Jacks-up into six people because you were excited about collecting 6:1, right?

Agreed, but with the board in this hand, bigger two pairs are unlikely. We are either beaten by freak trips or we're good. If somebody has a straight, I'd expect him to bet it.

Decent opponents will put you on Jacks-Up here. Doesn't make VB wrong, but obv its better if you think they will guess wrong. If you know that guy will crying-call you everytime with Tens-Up, its probably worth it. But if you are less sure thats what he has, or that he's instacalling...VB not so good. YOu're betting into a probably straight draw/hidden trips too. Could get lit up..

I thought the VBs were fairly straight forward. After villain checks 6th, I am pretty sure he is drawing at something/doesnt have trips. Its not like I even raised 5th to get him to slow down! If he hit, he would most likely bet out on the river into two people instead of hoping I had something good enough where he could get a c/r in.

Anyway, seat 6 folded the river and seat 7 indeed had Ts up....I guess when confused on 5th, raise instead of call is the play!
