    First off I am playing pretty aggressive at this table and have a very LAGGY image, showed a pretty big bluff a little before, but then a few hands later got in a huge pot with the best. Also, in the BB i have had a lot of situations where i have been raising from the BB simply because i have had good hands in the situation

    reads
    UTG is just horrible
    UTG +1 is very nitty but plays decent if hes in the hand he has it
    Button is a thinking player, but is really nitty and says a lot of dumb stuff to give away his hand strength
    SB is just crazy, he is on a heater and never folds, he loves drawing and he earlier called a $100 preflop 4 bet with j9 when, he was the original raiser and only had $200 behind after

    Utg limps $2 ($70 stack), UTG+1 raises to 7 ($300), 4 folds, Button flats $7 ($700 stack), SB calls $7 ($850 stack), I am in BB with JJ have about ($800 stack), I 3bet to $30, UTG calls, UTG +1 fold, Button calls, SB calls..... So pot is about $122 after rake

    flop 5c 6d 7d.... I bet $80, UTG calls all in for $43, Button Folds, SB calls $80....Pot $325 (Me and SB are playing effective stacks of $690)

    Turn is 6h.....what is my play here???? I do not see SB folding any draws here if i bet less than $300 and not sure if i want to do lose that much EDIT: IF he has a made hand already!

    hate this spot...maybe my play pre and on the flop r horrible and thats y i am in this stupid spot, so please any advice would be appreciated

    pretty damn scary flop with 3 to a str8 and the flush draw. I would think he would be reraising most made hands such as sets, two pair. Good turn card for you since none of those draws hit. I would bet around 200 on turn and check back most rivers.

    well i cant check call considering i have position

    but ya that is what i did $200....idk if i want to play a hand that big with JJ really, so dont know if I should have done anything different....but i think i have to bet because he has a draw a good % of the time and i dont mind him drawing at it for the wrong price

    oh, i didn't even really read the HH, sorry, lol.

    If you're uncomfy with betting n calling off here, why not just check this turn n call on pretty much all rivers that don't hit a straight? Let your opponent bruff his missed draw!

    Either that or bet n re-eval based on player if you get raised/shoved on turn.

    I like to make sht as difficult as possible for myself, so I check this turn n FML call when the river is a 8.

    I find these plays are totally player dependent, some regulars dont like the new bully at the table and will call you down light here and some will only play against you when they have the nuts or drawing to it, if its just a random player then I usually bet here on the turn cause thats when they generally play their hand face up by either jamming on you or folding

    bet the turn. He didnt flop 2 pair else he wouldve raised, he is likely to have diamond draw or 77 for pair and draw.

    From your read I think the only hand you need to be afraid of has a six in it. If villain had hit the flop very hard you'd have heard from him then. Most likely I think he flopped a pair with a straight draw.
