Him calling that big bet on the flop may have slowed me down a bit - I'd have either checked or bet more like 3/4 the pot on the turn and see what he did.

pre-flop, SB had already called a small raise, and although you did re-raise it , I don't think it was enough to show your strength. that was your mistake.

That's just it - a 3/4 pot bet is enough to take away odds to draw to an OESD without risking your entire stack.

I owuld not have put him on JQ. His PF actions would make that holding unlikely.

His bet/call on the flop would puzzle me, but I would be hard pressed to say I play this differently.

I dont know if I go broke, but his flop play definately rings a bell,

Betting $0.50 being 1st to act in a 6$+ pot is very odd. And then he calls a 4.50$ raise...

I would have check the turn I think...

And probably call a normal size bet on the river. Maybe not all in...

KJ

a $.50 bet and then a call of a $5 raise is a pretty good indicator of a real strong hand. JavaScript is just as likely as 8s, 9s, or Ts so I don't like this thinking.
