I didnt like the K on the flop, so I checked to see what the 2 remaining players would do... First guy bets $20 into a $50 pot and 2nd guy calls... hmmm looks pretty weak... Looked like a steal/or draw... maybe a set... so I tried a checkraise to take the pot right there representing AA/KK (set) or AK one fold, second guy calls...

Hero bets $96.80 (all in),

"Looks" pretty weak? Could you see him through your computer or something? Of course I'm just being a wise-ass but if you change the word "Looks" to "hmmmm, I HOPE he's pretty weak", then you are being more honest with yourself.

This is a cut and dried situation..You have JJ and there is a bet and an overcall with a King on the board...dump it.

Because you won this pot you may think you made the proper play but I think that most of the time you would be beat.

YD

Glad that worked out for you and he didn't have AKc KQc or something like that which would be bet the same way and would definitely call the turn, which is what I expected when reading the hand.

I have mixed feelings about the play, if you know your opponent to play a draw like that, then every bet is a fine one. If you were fuzzy in your read I'm not so sure. I'm fine with pulling the trigger when you have a solid representation of your opponents hand in your mind whether you are right or wrong doesn't matter except to readjust your read.

Me no likey.

I don't like the play...

even still...after that checkraise..you gotta figure he'll call whatever you have left (of course i assumed he had a better hand.)

87..wtf lol

Ty for the responses, I considered the play to be marginal at best and posted it here to get smacked for making it if thats what was needed.
