Top pair medium kicker on the flop

Thoughts on this?
No reads on the BB and CO is 50/8/16 over 26 hands - also seen him fire all the way down with an OESD.

Seems ok. I wouldnt put him on pair of jacks and better kicker, he would most probably raise those hands preflop.

Since it is not necessary to protect your hand on the river, I would bet there. By check-raising BB has to call two bets cold (and folds)

If you check, it might get checked through if CO was raising/betting a draw. If he had something else, a check raise might work, but i would also hate to see him show 44 or 77. I probably bet call this one.

fold preflop

good bet on the flop, raise sucks

fold the turn

just bet/call the river, don't want it checked around and getting 3bet by a better J would suck too.

Did everyone run bad last night? Why on earth would you fold this pre flop.

OP if your read was more solid i check/raise the turn.

Standard call PF.

Even though you have a small sample size, given stats and your read, I may 3bet this on the flop. I lead a turn undercard here many times too.

I tend to lead the river.

TJo ?? w/just two limpers ?? this is a marginal complete for me suited. I don't want to play this hand oop.

And no I didn't run bad last night. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Your getting 5:1 to complete against a noted bad limper and a completely random poster. I rather raise here than fold and i am completing anything remotely playable.

Trainslayer,

I just realized there are TWO limpers. Getting 7:1 you can't fold this. Especially with the post flop donkey being one of them.
