i seriously doubt many people, especially boring nits, 3bet JJ or even QQ in MP vs an UTG raise at FR. they certainly didn't 12 months ago. on the turn, seeing as he is dead to two outs almost all of the time, and he never has any air to bluff with, i guess we just have to choose the line that looks the most FOS, aka the line which he will most gladly stick his last $15 in with. so i guess it's between
1 - small on turn, rest on river
2 - jam turn
3 - check/call turn, jam river if it checks through
4 - check/jam turn, jam river if it checks thruogh
i think 1 is good if you suspect villain can't handread for shit and just sees his KK and lolpotodds and so calls it off. i think it's bad if he can handread at all and knows you will never take a small/small line with a bluff into his current range
2 isn't good. probably better than #1 because he will probably call it off with the same range, and jamming the turn might make him more inclined to commit because of our bluffy image, and jamming the turn is more credibly a bluff than our option #1 if he can handread at all.
3 and 4 are almost effectively the same, unless you think he will bet/fold with these stacks. i imagine most villains will talk themselves into calling it off if they bet, despite the fact you are never bluffing. i will say that i like checking this turn card if you suspect he will check back QQ+ most of the time. because the bet/check/shove is probably the most spastic line we can take and is in line with our spazzy image. and it's not like we need to be worried about giving free cards to two outs. but we need to know he will check back a reasonable frequency in order to be able to take that line.
tbh i think it's pretty close between the 4, but i'm leaning towards just jamming the turn as being my preference for the above stated reasons. this post definitely ended up too long for how simple my point was. probably even convoluted as a result.
edit: glad most of the BC agrees with me on #2 being best
