SB posts SB $0.02, Hero posts BB $0.04

Pre Flop: (pot: $0.06) Hero has T:spade: J:heart:

fold, fold, BTN raises to $0.09, fold, Hero calls $0.05

Flop: ($0.20, 2 players) A:spade: 3:heart: J:diamond:
Hero checks, BTN bets $0.10, Hero calls $0.10

Maybe check call turn and river? I dident think this would be correct though as I'm missing so much value from Ax hands that I feel make up A big part of his range but maybe I'm wrong.

I think you played it correctly maybe just a smaller bet on the river. He just called you on the turn so he probably does not have a full house. Its just bad luck that you both had it and his was one better.

1) JTo isn't a great hand to flat against a button open. Sucks playing OOP the whole hand. Even against a player with his stats, I think I just 3-bet or fold, leaning towards a fold.

2) The flop isn't a great one to float, especially since we're OOP. A jack is really the only card you can hit to improve your hand (tens complete AT, KQ as well, so its a pretty dominated draw). I might lean more towards turning 2nd pair into a semi-bluff than flatting in this spot. You're just too far from showdown OOP to get value from showing down 2nd pair.

3) The raise on the turn should be way larger. Once you make trips, you should be looking to get stacks in against a bad player. You left too much behind on the river, so you had to over-shove.

Yeah depending on his F3B stat might 3 bet or fold. Calling is pretty bad. Against this guy I dont mind floating the flop and re-evaluate turn based on his bet size.

I'm fine with all the streets but the river. Your going to lose too many of his aces betting this big, his aces are all that we beat so we really need to keep them in.

I bet/fold $1.

Preflop I next to never flat JTo, only reason it's pretty much the worst hand I'd be willing to call with here is because we're facing a minraise and villains a huge fish.

Yeah I'm obv not flatting even 10c here and I was never 3betting as I assume someone playing that vpip is not folding to 3bet like ever.

I flated pre because it was pretty much A min raise and he had close to A full stack thats my logic not saying its right thats just how I saw it but yeah I was not thrilled with the flat by any means and thought it was close pre dont like 3beting flop as hes pretty much never folding but yeah def need to bet bigger on turn cause river was realy awkward thanks for evaluation.

I fold pre mainly b/c as you said you do not think this player is going to be folding to a 3-bet. If so, hes def not folding to a 3-bet IP. So now what youve done is create a larger pot, OOP with a weak hand. Now you've put yourself in a position where you are going to have to c-bet the flop in a larger than normal pot. If he calls, you still have no information on the strength of his hand b/c youre OOP.

I think what this shows is that its a compounding effect of mistakes based on the pre-flop decisions. My opinion is to avoid this by folding pre.

Fold pre. also hate the overbet on the river, straights/full houses/higher trips are calling much higher % than lower trip jacks. Also more chance he has one of the three. So ye Hate the river overbet.
