pretty tough spot with the donk bet. i love preflop and the size of your flop bet. i play AA and a set like this sometimes if i am villian. i would say its read dependent. its either a blocker for AJ or a monster. i don't think he calls preflop with AJ. getting > 5:1 makes it seem like a bleeder to me i probably let it go but I'm sure calling and reevaluating river is fine.edit: now that i see our remaining stack i can fold a bid easier

i say call. also, i'm totally gonna fold a non-queen river if he makes a reasonable bet.
FAILThis looks like a blocker bet more than a setup bet. Honestly though, he bets less than a third of the pot why are we reacting like an overpair is no good in six max on a rainbow board with not completed straights out there?Call this down, and call down any non-A non-J river.

I agree with this...if anything, I maybe raise the turn to see if he really has anything he feels like chasing. His bet seems weak to me.

We have ~$130 left, wtf are you raising to?
if he calls, that leaves Hero with only $92 and SB had us covered from the beginning. I didn't do the math before (donkey move on my part) but if I was going to raise, why not just push all-in?the way I am seeing this is that I am not folding QQ - so that means calling or raising and if I call, I am pretty much pot committed (~2/3 of Hero's stack is in the pot). If I can take down the pot now because villain doesn't hold AA, KK, or a set, I am willing to take that chance.

FAILi think the only blocker bet is AJ which is limited based on pf action and if we call the $40 the rest of our stack is going in on the river everytime.

But if you're going to fold worse hands, and only get called by KK/AA, then shoving is clearly bad....

So do what then? Call the Turn, fold the river to a bet?

Prolly call/call, let him v-bet a worse hand, or bluff off, or whatever.I'm sure some guys you can fold turn, or at worst river vs, but I dunno.

specifically to this hand, is this because of the lack of read/knowledge of the villain?

In this case. I think you should raise him. With QQ. Guy might had AJ or maybe even 88 or 10-10. He might think you had AK AQ and he check the flop. But normally if you had JJ you would have checked the flop. So. I guess Hero Should be raising him. It sound like a steal or maybe he got a hand but not a big one. Cause if he had your overpair beaten he would have tryed a check-raise on turn . Because Hero bet on flop. So the best option here would be to raise him!"

I think this is 88 - JJ. KK and AA are possible, but with a re-raise in front of him pf I don't see why the villain wouldn't push the action and expect to get called.My vote is call, and like Nuts said, call any non-J, non-A river. I don't like a raise because you're only getting called by hands that beat you since there's no reasonable draw.

It's jacks. It played just like jacks. You're drawing to a Q. His turn bet is designed to get you committed to the pot. Fold. And if it's not jacks, it's surely overs. Fold.
By the same token, it could be TT seeing if Hero will commit himself to the pot or fold. I'm really not sure about this hand...I think 88 through JJ could all play this way.

lol lol lolsome of you guys would be so exploitable. why are you guys so scared? this is a blocking bet so often. call the turn and most rivers if bet, and bet the river if checked to.

What is the range of hands he is making a blocking bet with on this board?

Any PP and any piece of the board. This happens often with weak hands that want to play past the flop c-bet, especially in a short handed game.

I am not as experienced as anybody who plays at these stakes but will players at this level call OOP with a hand like AJ with this pf action at these stakes? Are they even going to take a flop with a hand like 88, TT with a UTG raise and reraise in front of them?It definitely seems fishy, but the pot is offering 4:1 so you only have to win 20% of the time for this call to be acceptable. But if you are calling what are you doing on the river?Hero has around 45% of his stack in after this call. Doesn't that make him committed to calling a riverbet?

No, we're not committed on the river. If a bad card falls, or he shoves and we think we're beat, we can still get away from this. But folding to this turn bet is absolutely absurd to the point where you seriously are checking for monsters under your bed before you sleep.Also, this is six max. That's what makes the huge difference, not the stakes.

Well obviously $1/$2 is a little different to the $.02/$.05 I play at lol. But at 6 max people's general ranges are much wider? So hands like AJ etc would play here?
