    9 Players
    Hand Conversion Powered by weaktight | fold when you know you're beat

    UTG $6.21
    UTG+1 $5.21
    MP1 $16.04
    MP2 $5
    Hero $4.80
    CO $4.58
    BTN $12.43
    SB $5
    BB $1.86

    Pre-Flop: ($0.07, 9 players) Hero is MP3 JavaScript Jh
    4 folds, Hero raises to $0.20, 3 folds, BB raises to $0.35, Hero calls $0.15

    Flop: 4h 7h 2h ($0.72, 2 players)
    BB bets $0.35, Hero calls $0.35

    Turn: 9d ($1.42, 2 players)
    BB bets $0.45, $0.45 to Hero ($4.1)?

    Villain is a relative unknown, pretty sure his betting pattern is a sign of weakness. I heavily weight it towards AhKx, so I just want to jam it in on the turn.

    Well he didn't exactly bet much on the turn did he, I would presume this to be a pot control bet, betting enough to just get a flat call as you would think he wants you to raise as he is betting so little, what did he have? I think jj is good here.

    If you are scared then you jam on the turn. If not then you play it out. Maybe you would save some money with a fold on the river if he makes one of his draws. May be you'll get paid if he wants to draw and bust. I think his bet seems weak too.

    Yup, I think he block bet you, your JavaScript might be good on the turn but he has a lot of outs

    Yeah, JJ is good here a lot, that's why I want to shove turn.

    What would hands would he pot control (or blockbet with) with? Why would he want to pot control (or blockbet)?

    guy has less than 50bbs so i'd just 4b it pre

    as played you wanna just shove the flop for value

    reason for shoving is a. tons of worse hands will call, and b. if you flat the flop and a heart rolls off on the turn, he will actually c/f a lot of the stuff he would have got in on the flop.

    I think Harrington's small pot hand rule applies here. You have an overpair, but it's a small pot hand. With trips on this board I'd shove, but not with JJ.

    fuck harrington and his rules

    we've got tons of equity against a bad player with a weak range, 4b pre or raise flop unless you dont' like money

    I would call the flop and on the turn I would either raise large or jam.
