Spew with J9

[sandstorm]

Villain is a bit of a thinking player, and I played 2-3 tables with him earlier in the day, 3-betting him a lot. He did not play back at me much. Somehow I felt like he was playing back at me here, but then what? I'm a pussy most of the time, my guess is that I should raise more or just fold this crap at every street. I really don't know what to think of the turn actually.

Villain is 17/14/4, and he should have about the same stats on me.

Oppps, you ran into a hand. I think you're pretty much pot-stuck anyway.

I mean, calling the push is fine with odds, but is betting the turn in the first place any good? Boards not that wet, and we have TPWK.

I could go either way with 1.5x pot behind or so and enough equity to call a shove. If we're ahead there is value in protecting our hand. Also, not showing down has some value if he plays with this guy a lot.

Bottom line is that it looks like you had the wrong read in a spot where your read really needed to be spot on to make that pre-flop call. Also, if there is a spewy history between you, you should tend to tighten up as you will get action on your best hands.

Thanks. He had 99 so I actually won, but I dont think this is something I should do a lot.

This guy is a tight multitabling reg. He plays too many tables to play back at you. I think it's really fun 2.5xing every one of his cbets and watching him fold.

you may want to reassess your opinion of villian.

I check back the turn with a high frequency here but that could easily be a leak.

you are behind a lot of the time, but i think you cant get away at this point. also i think PF is pretty bad.

everytime i 3-bet pre, lead a dry flop, and c/r the turn, my hand is bad. obvious leak, but i think its one a ton of players have.
i like it, do you think he has any reason to not go for 3 streets of value with a good hand? stack sizes make his c/r look super weak.
