Like, I hate every line I could possibly take here. So I pussed out and decided to like, not bet. Anyone got any better lines, cuz I'm not a fan of how I played this one.

Stats on CO over 73 hands:
47/16/32%
3-bet % = 16.7%
Fold to c-bet = 67%

Stats on BTN over 73 hands:
34/8/24%
Fold to c-bet = 80%
CO: $137.93 (551.7 bb)
BTN: $36.88 (147.5 bb)
Hero (SB): $43.94 (175.8 bb)
BB: $58.25 (233 bb)
UTG: $8.35 (33.4 bb)
MP: $21.12 (84.5 bb)

Pre-Flop: Hero is SB with J

I think I would bet this once on the flop vs guys with those stats. Loose passive and fold easily postflop. Being out of position in this hand is what kills you. I lead the flop for $8 almost turning our hand into a bluff.

See, I would think the turn would be a better spot to bet. We may get raised by the ace of hearts on the flop, and a queen is never folding...

If it checks to the turn, the draws lose some equity, and we then know its unlikely anyone has a Q. I think a turn bet is probably best, but its hard to say. Only downside is that the turn brings a ton of bad cards.
