Hero bets 1000 (3000 chips left)

turn J (pot 3500)

Hero bets 1000

If your read is that he plays any pair on the flop, then on the turn your hand is well ahead of his range, you have 3K left and the pot is 3.5K, so taking any line which involves folding is awful.

Put the rest on the turn in first place, prly you are beaten by two pair,but pot is almost equal to your stack, if it can be a reasoning for allin
