Easy call.

Villain bets 222 into an 800 pot giving you almost 5-1 to call. I'm not folding JJ here.

His bet screams feeler bet to me. Either that or a draw.

If he had a lock hand I think he'd bet more to protect it with the draws out there. If he has an Ace I think he bets more here as well, closer to half pot, same with the str8.

This is a tough spot. I don't like C/Ring here as much as a call, but if you do C/R, you might as well push, as he'll otherwise have the odds to call with many hands if you don't.

I say call the turn, and lead out on the river for about 1/3 - 1/4 pot, i.e. block bet representing a value bet; maybe 300-350. I know many of you may not agree with this, but I think it's the only way to win this pot with the least amount of risk. Also, I think you may still be ahead here much of the time.

If you check on the river, I think he'll bet almost every time whether he has it or not.

This seems like the worst, if he calls and youre beat your left with 700? Just fold and move onto the next hand.

Yeah i also like leading the turn if possible. As played you have essentially given up after the turn check.

I'd still check-fold though if this guy isn't tricky enough to merit the block.

I call and then call a 500 and under safe river

[maxv2]

but, before that I would've checked the flop to either check-raise in or atleast slow down the betting

When someone 3bets me and then checks the flop I almost always check behind. By checking the flop you give up a free card, not something I really want to do with the coordinated flop and possible overcards hitting.

wow this is horrible advice along with the rest of this thread. He has a monster every single time here, this is an easy fold

O RLY? Seems like a pretty popular line for it to always be anything specific, especially at 5k. There is a ton of nonmonsters in villains range, some of which we even beat / crush, but you still can't continue b.c. he can play perfectly if you do. It's not b.c. he's never bluffing though.

hey baller, I like you're push vs a 1100 stack with J9 earlier today. Although I'm sure you have an outstanding explanation for the move
