Ok, some background on the hand. I had been at the table for a while. I had about a 35 hand sample on Villain. He is 38/10. With a hand he sometimes is willing to gamble. In a previous hand I had raised and gotten 2 callers. I c-bet the flop and got called. I fired a second barrel and it was folded to Villain. He said, "What the hell I will gamble." and went all in ( it was only a couple more dollars over my bet). He turned over 77 against a K 9 3 6 board. He took a lot of money from me on that hand.

UTG is pretty fishy. In about 70 hands he is 29/0. He seems to call a lot and when seeing the flop his seen showdown % is 25.



PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em, $0.50 BB (8 handed) Hand History Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com (Format: FlopTurnRiver)

UTG ($14.15)
UTG+1 ($101.90)
MP1 ($15.70)
MP2 ($49.75)
CO ($56)
Hero ($58.10)
SB ($49.80)
BB ($55.20)

Preflop: Hero is Button with J, J.
UTG calls $0.50, UTG+1 raises to $2, 3 folds, Hero calls $2, 2 folds, UTG calls $1.50.

Flop: ($6.75) 6, J, 8 (3 players)
UTG checks, UTG+1 bets $3, Hero ......................


So here is the questions. I have the best hand now but it is possible that a flush could fall on the turn. I can see both of these players calling my raise with suited connectors maybe. This is only from their large vpip number, I have not seen any hands when they call a preflop raise so maybe that indicator is not so good. UTG+1 has a decent pf raise % so he probably has a decent hand. Should I raise trying to draw out a flush draw? Should I cold call to try to build the pot up? Remember UTG still has to act after my action.

$9-12 looks about right.

theres a straight draw out as well that you have to be careful of

Sprayed is on a distinguished road
Draw heavy board means that you have to protect hand and price others out from drawing. Bet close to pot or full pot.

Well played.

Don't make a habit out of firing second barrels when the villain is short stacked, though. Especially not when he has loose stats.
