    ok, so i just took a bad beat the previous hand, lost a decent amount of $$$.... [hence why im not at the full buyin, i didnt add chips cause i felt i was on tilt]. Ok, so the hand: don't have a read on bentbarcrew at all, this is either his first or second hand played, and he posted his blind out of turn so i can't think too highly of him from the start. Tell me what ranges you put, and what is your line. i'll post the results after a few reply. thanks in advance

    without a read his range can be huge here. I really have no clue what to put him on, but i fold turn theres just not much you beat and to just call oop is not optimal imo because u cant call many river bets.

    His calling range preflop is very wide imo, as he has 4 invested its only 8 more to call in position into a 22 dollar pot preflop. Id say hes calling here with Ax sooted, Kx sooted, most connectors, most one gappers, two gappers, pairs below TT. Honestly though its really tough to narrow his range here.

    You need to raise more here preflop only 3x is gonna invite too much action and when you have JJ you obv dont want that. Id raise to around 18 or 20.

    Also why do you underbet flop? this does nothing to find out where your at in the hand and gives him an opportunity to draw cheaply or float easily. The range of hands he is calling with is so wide its making my head hurt to try and narrow it. So many combo draws, possibly sets although i think he would raise a set on scary board. Flush draw, straight draws, pair of 8s, 6s, 5s maybe underpair.

    Turn is obv check fold imo as you have no clue where your at and a lot of hands that call the flop get there (combo draws, straight draws, two pair), but he I think he is either value betting or bluffing here bc u showed weakness, more likely a bluff imo bc of the weakness u showed. Again though u have no clue where your at and its really hard to call a bet here and a possible river bet.

    River doesnt help many draws except 34 but i dont think he bets turn with 34. I fold river because im a nit but im guessing you called and he tabled 9T, JT, or QT hearts or some other busted flush draw.

    thank you for the really good analysis....

    yeah, i was fuming from the previous hand. a guy called me til the river, and hit his 1 outter to win. at the time, i knew it was a pretty weak line on my part, but i kind of did it on purpose. I figured he would have reraised trips b/c of the draw heavy board, and i bet light in order to show weakness to induce a possible bluff on the turn. the turn gave a 9, and he bet big, def indication he didnt have a 7.
