    Default JJ overpair in a pretty big pot

    Villain is 60/21/1.14 over 90 hands. Calls everything preflop but not too crazy post-flop. Definately haven't seen him get his whole stack in yet. I've been aggressive in position against him and am starting to get the feeling he's a little irritated. He's starting to call a little lighter etc. He hasn't 3-bet me preflop yet but this might be the first time he's had a chance as well with me being on his direct left.

    Is this a hero call or super standard call?


    Texas Hold'em $1-$2 NL (real money), hand #P4-58509719-708

    What the heck does he mini raise preflop here with? Probably 10s, Qs, Ks or As. Im folding the turn.

    Opp bet 6 plus his blind = 7 - 4pfr from hero = 3 to call.

    looks like QQ-AA given flop action. im not calling flop unless im happy about it and stack off on turn
    Jman: every time the action is to you, it's an opportunity for you to make the perfect play.

    I've found my biggest leak - I can't do basic arithmetic (not sure I can spell it either.)

    I just really found this line so bluffy. Yeah he's a donk so of course he's not going to make smart bet sizes. The reason I decided to call is it was weird for him to give up once the flop comes after he has 3-bet preflop. Then suddenly he's interested again once the other guy folds and the flop is HU between him and myself. That's the main reason I decided this was more likely a bluff than a bad line with a good hand.

    Does that sound like good reasning or was I just talking myself into having an excuse to call?

    pretty standard flop fold against a passive donk. I also like the idea of a 4bet (if you can really call it that) pre since he only minraised.

    This is where you made your excuse to call. I just don't think it's a good one. You're giving him too much credit for good adjustment, without actually seeing any evidence of it, and then getting into a bad spot with a bad assumption based on adjustments he isn't making.
    It's not what's inside that counts. Have you seen what's inside?
    Internal organs. And they're getting uglier by the minute.
