Hero ~ $1,900
Villain ~ $900


Hero playing TAG mostly, but changing gears and making some good plays. Villain just sat down an hour ago, transfer from another table and had about $1,500 when he sat down. He's a younger player, somewhat LAG but definitely knows what's he doing. Very difficult to read, he could have atc at any time.

MP1 raises to $25. Villain calls from MP2. Hero has JJ on button raises to $75.

Folds to MP1 who calls. Villain calls.

Flop comes 5s6d7s

Checks to Hero who bets $200

MP1 folds. Villain thinks for about 5 seconds and says all-in.

Hero?......

He's never outright bluffing, and he's never shoving TT. He is either flipping with you or he crushes you, and your pot odds aren't great.

I mean, you could get into a levelling war of "he knows I can't hit that flop after 3-betting preflop" but I don't think you can profitably hero call here.

You can basically expect to see either AA/set (AA more likely IMO) or a huge draw here all the time (where you're behind). Puke/fold.

I'd like to see a bigger raise preflop make it 100 or 125

With JJ I'm more than happy to take down a smaller pot preflop

As played fold

Bigger raise PF and this hand plays itself.
As played, you're ahead once in ten tries.

Folds

Thanks for the replies.

I was actually villain in this hand with 78. I thought I played it brilliantly and figured Villain pretty much had to fold to an all-in. Just wanted to see what people would have done in his shoes.

So of course he calls with jacks and I brick my 13 outer.

Standard?

You should be happy he called. Your range is way ahead of him.

78 is the worst hand in your range, and you have 13 outs.
