In that vein, I don't think JJ is much different than 77 really, aside from the very occasional things like splitting with villain's JJ or him showing up with a hand like T7s.

    In practice, I don't think many 1/2 tagg regs are really squeezing then 3-barreling enough to make calling with worse than QQ profitable and we're certainly not folding anything worse. With that analysis it actually seems like a perfect spot to check.

    From villain's pov he is normally good on the river, stick it in and let hero invent a reason to call. (probably not a bad thought process either)

    I guess I'm on the fence now.

    my reaction might be a little primitive in today's games but this sentence is what resonates the most with me in this thread

    maybe i m just too far removed from the ubertaggy american games but my god when i have taken villain's line with AK or AQs i seem to get called down about 1 out of every 2 or 3 times by randoms with weak PP's
    when the vpip's are high and the value bets are like razors, who can be safe?
