easy fold

That would be a fold.

if you are going to raise that much on the flop, set him all in there when your equity is huge.

Do you know anything about this player? Would tha flop have hit him? Think your jacks and aces are still live cards?

What is the pot size on the turn? Why are you making up do all the work? How can we answer without knowing the size of the pot?

I dont love the big raise on the flop, but nw that its done this is a straight pot odds decision with villain all in.

I am too tired to add up the pot, but it does not look like you have the odds to draw here.

And you are most definately drawing....IMHO

I would have just done 2XBB if anything, then if he raised on the flop folded, you don't have pot odds in this situation.

Chances of hitting a hand on the flop: 8.33:1
52cards - (2 pocket cards) = 50
Cards that would help = (3A's + 4J's) = 6
50/6 = 8.33:1

The chances of hitting a hand on the river were: 3:1.
52cards - (2cards in hand + 4 on the board) = 46
Cards that would help = (3A's + 3J's +9 spades) = 15
46/15 = 3.066:1

Pot odds were 2.41:1 with his raise, any action mathematically besided folding would be unprofitable, however in this situation its a matter of the type of player he is, loose or aggressive a call might have been the best action.

I would have folded with the 1.85 raise, he either had a monster or was playing too reckless, and you shouldn't put your stack at risk for a maniac to take it all. At that point you would just be loosing less than 4 bets which can easily be won in one good hand instead of risking 80BB.

If I saw someone raising after the flop like you did I would have thought you were bluffing because you didn't hit your high on the first round making any small connected suited pair I had valuable.

As Beavis said the better action would have been All in if you were going to raise that much because after your 7.80 you were pretty committed to the pot.

What was your action?

Possibilities:
He had a pocket pair.
Was playing a crappy starting hand and flopped a straight.
Is a complete fish....

that is wrong.

15/46 is 1/3.06 which is 2.06:1 against hitting, not 3.06:1

you are confusing chance and odds, your chance is 1 in 3 but your odds are 2 to 1 against. Odds are expressed with the ":" symbol

it means he flopped something huge, had a set of tens, or is a donkey.
