...since he's unknown, I think you can also include KQ, a passive KK and even 77+... def 99 & TT. I've seen this happen twice last two days. Vil looks at the flop bet as strictly a CBet, takes your turn check and river checks as whiffs -- gets some confidence from the second J hitting and u checking the River after PF & F agg -- and figures u might be one of those raise any PP from EP and now scared of the OCs or sitting on something like AK. 1/3PB on the River doesn't exactly scream OMFGIHAVETHENUTS to me.

I prolly would have bet $2.50 on the Flop 'cause of the draws, bet 5 into the Turn, and if he's still with me, C/C to a reasonable R bet. But then I invariably F- these high OP plays... :shock:

i like flop bet at $2 since anything more will probs make our strength obvious. now bet turn. as played call river.

Same type of hand a few hours later. Played this one a little more agg since after this hand I think AK and KQ follows me to the death and if he has the J and doesn't raise me oh well.

You're missing so much value.

first hand - keep betting every street until he raises
second hand - good, I think you get 3 streets of value out of AK/KQ here. Vs a more aggro opponent I might c/c river because a bunch of draws missed (apart from QT) but against an unknown 25NL opponent it seems fine.
