$5 NLHE 6-max: C-Betting with JJ on flop w/ 1 overcard?

RUSH/ZOOM 6 handed, no history on any opponents

• Should hero be continuing with JJ on this flop?
• Should hero be betting at all on the turn or river?

With no history, this is fine.

If villain was giving me fish vibes, I'd bet the turn.

When all the draws miss, checking the river to induce bluffs is standard.

Larger on the flop, this is a wet board, so we don't need to incentivize calls.

What if you don't think they would bluff the river, can betting light on the river be acceptable for 'potential' value? (lol)

Perfect bet you made with 0.20 on the flop I think. Villain calls, I would put him on a flush or straight draw. The turn is good for you, I would bet just enough to justify a call from Villain to continue for his flush or straight. I might be wrong but I think you are leading all the way so in my opinion it would be better to bet on the turn and river.

I would bet a little bigger on the flop, charging more to draw. Then I would bet again on the turn, though I suppose pot control is reasonable too. I just think we are making it too cheap to draw on a really wet board. Check/call the river. If you lose to a Q, you have a very passive villain.

Vs one player a cbet on that board is fine

I usually charge more when someone limps when I'm out of position. For example in that situation 5x the BB. I think the flop C-bet is fine. You can't just assume that villain has top pair. There are plenty of straight & flush draws out there so a bet on the flop is good. On the river you can bluff catch with your JJ77T hand vs missed draws.

I agree with betting more with a limper in position. I like the flop Cbet and the turn check back. I also like the river check. If Villain trips or a K, she is is likely to check back setting Hero up for a bet on the river. It is unlikely she'll be able to get 3 streets of value and she has position. I'm happy to bluff catch with second pair.

Standard cbet on the flop and turn with the option of checking the river.Villain could also have medium pair range.
