If you read the hand I posted before this one, you see I'm playing another pot against RoBang. This is about 6-7 hands after the first one, where he kept leading / calling with two pair. Obviously I hate to see his door card pair on 4th, but should I have raised here? If not 4th what about 5th when Sundawn picks up a jack as well? During the hand I think I was just calling because I didn't think a raise would give me any info about where I stood in the hand. I thought he would just call then lead again the very next street leaving me guessing still. I think this was too passive on my part as he needs the case jack, AA or 88 in the hole to be beating me on 5th, which is such a small range. Also as I saw in the last hand he will continue to lead with hands I beat. So, If I raise 5th and he calls then leads 6th do I raise 6th? Not totally sure the line to take in this hands. Also, anyone not like the river raise after I catch the case jack? Odds are sundawn is low, and would have raised with a strong hand in both directions, so I can trap RoBang in the middle with a worse high hand. He needs AA, KK, 88, to have me beat or have had some funky straight or flush hit with all 3 down cards. Thoughts?

I think the call on 4th is fine, but I do think you need to pop it on 5th.

Pop 5th when that other J shows up. Find out where you are. If you think he's a weak player, then take action. Plus if Sundawn is chasing a low, make him pay.

River play is good.

I almost said no way on the river until I reread the hand. yes, once that case jack hits you on 7th, you have to raise it. the best hand your donk has is jacks up most likely, and i wouldn't even give credit for that. considering your play on this one he could bet jacks down all the way safely thinking he's ahead. the other guy obviously has a low draw and his call telegraphs he hit it.

i still think you get more money by raising 5th, but i don't fault your play here too much.

I dont see why you wouldnt pop Bo up on 4th. Bo didnt raise on 3rd, so i'd have to assume he's stickin around with some type of high connected hand. So when he pairs his Jack on 4th, I'm thinking that his bet was put out there cuz he thought he had the best hand (because he's a donk obviously). Raising on 4th would have helped you see if this idiot was capable of slowplaying a big pocket pair on 3rd. If sundawn is on a low draw, raising on 4th would make him pay for it.

P.S. First Strat post! Woo Hoo!

i agree with raising on 5, you have to test him with the third jack out there, and make sundawn pay to go after his low draw, which is what it looks like he has

it's ok as played, but you probably get a little more value from raising on 5, as it looks like he started with clubs and missed on the river, or maybe had two pair
