Just a line check, please. I kinda got nervous after he called my bet on the flop b/c i thought he might have an over pair to my jacks. I think the quality of my play sort of begins to decline when that happens, any ways I could've played this better? Thanks

I would probably bet the turn and hopefully get a call from a ten. I wouldnt worry about an overpair until i get raised. I would play the river the same way once the king comes.

[artard]

I would def bet the turn.

[UFGatorGuy]

Bet the turn for sure, he's more likely on a draw that hasn't gotten there or a ten than an overpair. Charge him for that while you have the best hand. And if he checks river, I might even valuebet if he's the type to make a crying call with a ten.

[P0kerJunkie]

Yeah- I agree with you guys in retrospect. I kinda whimped on the turn, I guess. Any other comments?

[Go_BroKe]

Preflop make it $2.5
Flop a bit more like $5
valuebet that turn $12 / call a shove
if you are not all in on the turn - be it on the river!

[P0kerJunkie]

Just another thought: I didn't think I could really put him on a hand as weak as anything with a ten. AT, KT, QT are def too weak to call 2 bets cold from the sb, which contributed to my fear of an over to my jacks. Thoughts?

[vieira10]

Ive seen bad players call with any broadway cards out of the SB. Anyway, he could have a ten plus the flush draw in this hand. Also wouldnt QQ - AA raise here most of the time.

I don't think you can assume that at these stakes. I see people call big preflop raises from the blinds with all kinds of trash and would not at all be surprised to see AT or even KTs or something.
