$200 NL HE Full Ring: Top pair with Q kicker against strange line
$1/$2NL live game. I have $600, villain had about $180.
QhJh on the button.
EP raises to $6, villain calls in MP, I call from the button.
Pot: $21
Flop Js9s7c
EP checks, villain bets $6, I raise it to $25, EP folds and villain calls.
Pot: $71
Turn 4h
Villain bets $30, I raise to $70, villain calls.
Pot: $211
River 4c
Villain shoves for about $75 more.
At this point I didn't believe I was ahead of any made hand, but the line just seemed so strange that I was considering my pair of jacks with queen kicker good for bluff catching value.
Clearly the turn/river can't have hit his range, yet he went from the weak flop bet and semi-weak turn bet (possibly a blocking bet) to a river shove? The flop didn't cause any fear (he didn't try to protect his hand), despite being so draw heavy which means either he had a hand that wasn't affraid of being drawn out on or was drawing. If he was drawing, my jacks are good.
