    I calculate that you have to put $38 into $112 so you are getting 3-1 on your money.

    Even if his range is as narrow as 33, 88 and JJ you still have odds to call since you beat 3/7 of these hands. (1 possible combination of 33, 3 of 88, 3 of JJ).

    I would probably bet bigger on the turn though personally. You bet $10 into $23 right? I guess you wanted them to call and draw dead to a straight but I prefer building a pot by betting $15 or so and increasing the chance of getting the stacks all in on river.

    You gotta call that river, if it's 33 or JJ you're going broke.

    There seems to have been a fair bit of interest in the hand so I'd bet more on the turn too. If the pot was $23 I'd go with $16-19.

    hmm, does anyone check the turn to induce bluffs on the river here?
    For Free Money, Rakeback and some 6x Ongame bonuses, I recommend PokerSource.

    I recommend Cardrunners for superb poker coaching. It was honestly the single biggest improvement in my game signing up there! Sign-up fee might seem steep, but it pays itself back within weeks.

    versus 1 opponent I might check this but I'd definitely bet it against 2 players.

    I agree with you on the calling part, I'm beating him to the pot.
