Help me play this hand JJ - 6-max .10/.25

I agree that for a flop bet to be worth anything, you have to have a read that the guy is likely to call with AK/AQ. Much more common at 2/5nl than 25nl I guess.

I think that what bothers me with the check/call approach is that if he is aggro and he is capable of two-barreling with AK or lower pairs, we're also in trouble. What do we do if he pots the flop, we call, check a blank turn and he fires a 3/4 PSB again? Keep calling?

This being said, again, I totally agree that if a flop bet is unlikely to get value out of AK, then there is no point making it. But then kmind, if he checks behind on the flop, what are we trying to do with a lead out on the turn? Is he not just as unlikely to call this turn bet with his AK as he was to call it on the flop?

I agree with this one

do not stackoff pre

do not c/r flop

c/c and then re-eval turn based on sizing.

Very hard to take this line and fold turn to a guy who has played 5/9 of the last hands and raised 2 of them. I think you have to call down if you're going to call PF and flop. I really don't think calling pre and flop then folding the turn is better than a 4-bet pre.
