Ok, one more hand from my recent Mirage trip playing $1/$2 cash game. This one I believe is straight forward, but want to see if any of you think differently.

I'm in late position w :Ad: :Js: and folds to me. (fairly unusual btw, was a lotta limping going on at this table during this portion of play) I raise it to the table standard of $12. Folds to the BB villain.

We just combined 2 short handed tables into one full game, so my only read on her is this: The dealer knows her and a "regular" from my original short table knows her too. However, she only has $100 in front of her. At this point, I had over $400 in my stack.

BB villain calls. Pot = $25.

Flop comes :Jh: :7d4: :3h4:

Villain checks to me, I bet $20. (could have made it $15)
With zero hesitation, the villain pushes all in ($88 total, $68 to call)

Pot is $133.
Any reason not to call the $68 getting those odds?

Its possible she just called preflop w a premium pair to try to get it all in on the flop or hit trips on me (2 pair very unlikely). But she could also very easily have a worse Jack here (KJ, QJ, J10) or be playing a flush draw fast. Less likely, but possible, would be 2 overs or a smaller pp playing fast on the assumption that I may have missed and just be doing a standard cbet.

Thoughts on my thinking and line?

In my opinion stacking off here is fine. You raised enough to make set mining unprofitable even with 100% all in on the flop. Over pairs are possible, but unlikely. I would suspect either a weaker top pair or a draw more often than a flopped monster.

Agree. If she has a set, that's tough, but she's going to have the hands that you're crushing more often: KJ, QJ, JT or a flush draw. I'm not folding there. Pretty cagey if she has QQ there, though.
