Ok I am a nit but I really dont like this. You call with JJ oop. I think thats really bad. I would 4bet or fold preflop.

Four me fold &gt; 4bet since we do not want to play such hands in big pots vs a good player.

preflop is good, flop is not. Why are you donking the flop? Just ch/c it and see what develops.

check fold? whatever is calling flop is calling turn and whatever that calls flop beats you.

I check the flop and play the hand like a smaller pair, you are OOP.

villan tendencies helps tremendous ofc,

Casper,

I dont like c / c here. But for that i might want to see a Turn AF. if you c / c here your hand is transparent. He might put you an 99 88 or something like that and Hero has to check the turn again. But because of the flop action ( c/c on drawheavy board) an aggressive opponent might just bet again. Then we fold or call again, getting no information about villans hand...

but honestly, I don't know a good way to play this postflop.

call and hit a set.


If you checkcall this flop it could slow villan down and maby lead to a showdown for the same $ a bet OOP would

I am new to forums but I agree with this.
You are OOP, also you came out betting on the flop, I totally hate that move to be honest.

btw u are playing ur hand like a bigdraw/made hand and how would ur turn look then? allin probably. however you dont have a bighand so there is no point in playing JJ like this

folding JJ pf here seems ultra weak.
