Tail end of a longish session at a locals Las Vegas casino.
We're playing 1-2.

Flopping 2 pair feels strong, but when a TAG tanks then raises the turn it prob points to AK/AQ or a slowplayed set. Folding feels tight, raising overplays it, so I’d prob just call and see what river brings.


Check calling a TAG’s turn bet with 10nd nut seems high variance.

I believe JT is 7th nuts. Problem is all the hands way ahead of you are hands he would likely raise in ep. It isn't like bottom 2-pair on Q76, when you would only be behind sets and the ep player might not raise 77/66.

I would fold to the turn raise as played, but would just x/c with this hand and sometimes bet the river if he checks the turn. Huge overplay.


JT is the one hand where the low end of the straight is still the nuts. JT is a decent hand to take a shot at someone's stack, and being suited is useful too.

Yeah, somehow missed it at first look, but I’ve sadly learned calling raises in the blinds with suited connectors esp JTs ESP HU, is a terrible leak in low stakes raked games.


Call turn, see river. Too thin to raise, folding feels weak after the line.

Yeah, it is close whether to call the turn raise after hero's sort of weak aggressive line.
