Give up with a pair? - Page 2

i find myself in this unenviable situation a lot it seems. maybe i'm just running bad. so i'll let this serve as a bump to see if there are other opinions. although it looks as if nate has the number 1 answer so far.

I think in situation i call the hospitol and tell them im having a seizure from the shock of witnessing a 25/15/1.9 limp utg.

In the other two spots i find myself grudingly betting unless i've noticed previously he really likes going for turn checkraises.

If board is AK3 instead im not sure it changes things all that massively since mostly we're betting for is to perhaps knock out a 2nd pair, gut shot or an underpair, and theres now more underpairs.

I would bet since you'll see a gutter a fair amount of the time + it is an easy fold to a c/r. The question is: if he calls your turn bet and checks the river, who fires here? Most likely he has a Jack, can we shake him off it tho?

I think if goes to river with J most of the time he'll look you up. River bet is probably neg EV. I check.

You couldnt shake 99% of all opponents off a Jack if you went all in.
