TP + NFD on Paired Board - WTF DO I DO!!!!

[absoludicrous]

2nd orbit, no reads. The turn feels like a J a high percentage of the time. If I had reads or knew villain was 2p2 or smart, I could spot this as a raising FD. Given my lack of reads, I just don't know what to do on this turn. I don't want to get c/r'd for my stack on the turn.

Where are you guys?

I would just push the turn. That would be a strange way to play a J on such a drawy board.

A thinking player would never play a jack this way. But I have to catagorize this guy as an idiot, and most bad players would play a jack this way.

No, I know. I just saw 5 other very standard hands posted after me with several replies, and I think this hand merits some discussion.

I'll wait till more regulars get on.

I'm always checking behind here. If he's got a jack he's not folding (and you probably still have outs) and if he doesn't have a jack there really aren't that many cards he can be drawing to, so you don't mind giving a free card.

I don't really see any point in betting.

Just check and re-evaluate on the river.

Easy check. It saves money when he has a jack, and allows you to extract on the river better when he doesn't.

[element00]

check behind.

how much would you guys call on a non diamond river?
