I'm 3-betting this flop to $11 every day and getting ready to play for stacks. Then you can get more value on a 2/3 pot pot lead. He won't slowplay a striaght. He'l lminraise at the least. Check'calling's not bad, but when he overbets the pot, I'm bumpin to $50 and check/calling the river.

Flop: I had the villain on Jx and was looking to keep him around. I feel like he's raising me for information and I don't think it's time to reveal just how strong my hand is. I realise my 2 pair isn't that strong but I'm not really afraid of letting my opp see a turn here.

Turn: It's not a J/T/Q/K, so I'm pretty sure I'm still good here. The board is getting a little scary but if my read is correct and my opp is holding Jx, he should want to bet this turn as much as I want him to bet it. So I decide to go for the C/R and my plan works perfectly.

River: What are ya gonna do? I didn't even think about the flush since it came runner-runner. I am afraid of my opps call on the turn but he could have easily made the call with something like AJ or even TJ. If I check and he pushes, I have to call. If I check and he checks his Jx, I'm going to be pissed. So I might as well push it myself.

I don't really mind my flop and turn play but it's the river that I was lost on. After the villain calls my turn C/R, is it possible for me to check/fold this river? I hate the idea of shoving $60 into a pot when I'm drawing dead but I just don't see how I could have gotten away from it.

haha i was kidding, since hes in the bb he cant fold it was suppose to be a joke

I'm raising that flop up to $13-15, so many drawing hands that can kill you there. I would pop the turn up a bit more as well, probably $50 as alex said and that takes away any doubt on what to do with the river (what I like about raising to $50 is even if you have the best hand, you've committed him to the pot, his chips are in whether he likes it or not).
