    BB bets t680.00, Hero ?

    I'd like to write something smart, but I'm totally clueless. 4th hand of the game, so no real reads. The first hand of the game might be relevant, because he just calls with the 2nd nuts, so he might be really scared if he doesn't have the absolutely best hand, but I'm not sure.

    Losing player at 5NL, so take my advice on your hand with a grain of salt. Also I'm not a native English speaker, so I suck at writing as well.

    He got you beat most of the time in that first hand. Probably got his flush. Thats a pretty common line with a nut hand (or perceived nut hand).

    J4 hand was badly played. Bet flop 20-30. 3bet more on turn, something in range 3-4x, and since river came J you can make a bigger thin value bet. (1/3 pot is okay).
