Hero in CO with KJ calls 7bbs from third seat on J23 flop. Turn is 6 and raised to 16 bbs. Raise to 70bbs all in?

I don't know if this is right or not but I end up going all in with my top pairs (jacks or better). Sometimes they have a higher kicker or over pair but 75% of the time they don't.

Calling that might be a good idea, but always keep in mind that they may have a 3of a kind or A-J. Probably not, but you never know.

Yes. Especially with KJ. He represents an overpair or AJ. I would just call and see the river. If it doesnt help you and he barrels again, you should fold. This is ofcourse presuming you dont have history with him that indicates he might be bluffing.

He shouldn't have an overpair because he didn't raise preflop. Would've called with a small pair, JT, QJor AJ.

That call preflop is pretty bad, with KJ i would just fold or 3-bet if i think he would fold to a 3-bet. As played i am probably not folding, but again depands on the oponent, if he is a nit folding pre, if not i call the turn shove.

Yeah we def need more info on villain and hand in general. You should post the entire hand in the hand analysis section.

This is a full ring game. Any reads on opponent at all?

Is there a flush draw out OTF?

I dont play FR but i can tell you that there is nothing wrong with folding KJ ( especially KJo) and this situation is one of the reasons . im folding KJo here always. Now KJs is different.

Try and provide more info with your hand.

Seems lile a fold OTT, but again its hard to say w no reads

I don't think I'm ever all in with top pair, it still only 1 pair.

In situations like you posted you are behind so many hands (AA, KK, QQ, JJ, 22, 33, AJ, J2, J3, 23) and if someone has 45 or a set you are dead on the turn. I don't know why you would risk your stack in that situation.

Personally, I think this is a situation where you really need to tread carefully and control the pot as best you can.
