NL200: Am I Pot Committed?

[KipBond]

Live $1/$2 NL. I have about $200.

Loose/Semi-Aggressive/Bluffing Villain has me covered.

I have J[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] J[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]. 3 limpers; I raise to $18. All fold except Villain on the button.

Flop: 9[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] 5[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] 4[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]

I bet $45. Villain asks how much I have left -- which is about $140.

At this point, am I pot committed? If Villain raises all-in, do I fold getting about 2:1?

If the Villain just calls, and then...

If a non-club straight-making card comes on the turn, do I bet? Am I pot committed to a raise then?

If a club comes, what do I do?

why did you bet so much...

I don't think you're pot committed, but you're close. You have $140 left. If you had $100 left, I would say yes.

That said, given your description of villain, I would call getting 2:1 odds -- you're likely ahead of TT, top pair, FD, straight draw, combo draws at least 33% of the time.

If he calls the flop, I'm probably done with the hand b/c I can't think of much you beat at that point.

If you make a decent-sized turn bet, then I think you're pot committed.

Pot is $42. I bet $45. I wanted to take the pot right there -- a lot of scare cards can come on the turn and I'm OOP. What's a better play/bet here?

[KipBond]

I forgot to say, I'm in the SB.

[KipBond]

OK. So Villain calls my $45 flop bet. Pot is now $132. I have about $140 left.

Turn is: 7[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]

What do I do?

[Raised2Win]

usually when a guy asks your stack at this situation, especially when he is amateur means he doesn't have a big hand, atleast not yet. If he had the nuts for example I doubt he really thinks about your stack size. On flop I think you have the best hand and turn is a little more trickier, I probably cr/all in turn. If he checks behind, I block bet river and probably fold to raise.

I'm done with the hand at this point. The 7[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] was obviously not a good card, although even if it had been a blank, I still would shut it down. Again, I don't see much that you beat other than a bluff. I would rather save my money for a better spot.

Why?

When Villain calls the flop bet, what range do you put him on, and out of that range what do you think folds/calls an all-in?
