I only had a couple of hands on the villain. In this situation what would you recommend? Let him know where we stand or let him keep bluffing (and potentially improve ourselves)?

PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em, $1.00 BB (6 handed) Hand History Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com (Format: FlopTurnRiver)

SB ($101.65)
BB ($9.25)
UTG ($288.85)
MP ($62.95)
Hero ($98.50)
Button ($108)

Preflop: Hero is CO with J, K.
UTG raises to $7, 1 fold, Hero calls $7, 3 folds.

Flop: ($15.50) 6, 6, 2 (2 players)
UTG bets $6, Hero calls $6.

Turn: ($27.50) J (2 players)
UTG bets $10, Hero raises to $30

I'm more inclined to just call without a read.

Raise flop, calling is fine too. Turn is a standard call w/no read. You have a strong hand with a strong draw, and if you raise and he pushes, it will put you in a crappy spot (but with your short stack I suppose you have to call). Why do you only have half a stack?

I am much more partial to a call on the turn here. I think it wins the most and loses the least. We don't mind giving up a cheap card here if he is on a flush draw or PP < JJ. If he has a 6 or QQ-AA, we lose less by taking the cheap card.
The only real worry is if you think this villain plays AK or other overs like this. If he fires 2 barrels into a missed flop, then the raise might be appropriate.
Playing live . . . thanks alot Bin Laden.

jo,

I dont see a point in raising here unless you KNOW that he has a heart draw, which is really unlikely imo. Dont raise, worse hands mostly fold and good hands call/reraise. Just call. Also, by just calling you give your villian more rope to bluff the river.

Thanks guy. He folded and, although its results-oriented thinking, it made me question the value of my raise.
