    Default JJ on the button

    I haven't been at at the table long enough to have any reliable reads, but my opponent seems to be in a lot of pots and has table captain tendencies. He slowplayed a flopped nut flush a little earlier and I haven't seen him shove before.

    Thoughts?

    Full Tilt Poker
    No Limit Holdem Ring game
    Blinds: $0.25/$0.50
    6 players
    Converter

    Stack sizes:
    UTG: $108.25
    UTG+1: $21.25
    CO: $51.65
    Hero: $58.15
    SB: $48
    BB: $50

    Pre-flop: (6 players) Hero is Button with J J
    UTG calls, UTG+1 calls, CO folds, Hero raises to $2.75, 2 folds, UTG calls, UTG+1 calls.

    Flop: 5 3 7 ($9, 3 players)
    UTG bets $6, UTG+1 folds, Hero raises to $18, UTG raises all-in $105.5, Hero calls all-in $37.4.
    Uncalled bets: $50.1 returned to UTG.

    Turn: T ($119.8, 0 player + 2 all-in - Main pot: $119.8)


    River: 2 ($119.8, 0 player + 2 all-in - Main pot: $119.8)

    A couple questions:

    What hands are you putting him on here and why?

    Also, what hands are you folding by raising? What hands do you want to fold? What hands are you beating by his line?

    slow motion
    if villain is a gambooler then i like calling here. ive seen people do this at $25nl with mid PP's and AKs against a LP reraises. id say you are 50/50 chance to eithere be up against QQ+ or against 88-TT/AKs and getting 2:1 so its a call for me.
    eeevees are not monies yet...they are like baby monies.

    From what few hands I've seen him show down his range is fairly wide, so he could have anything from air to a set here. But, given the slowplay I mentioned earlier, his line seems overly aggressive for a set on this flop. I think he wants me to fold.

    Are you suggesting I just call his flop bet?

    Not much more than a bluff, admittedly.

    With your read I call.

    Why are you at 50NL? I thought you were a 200NL regular?

    I would be suprised opp would think he could bluff you out here. you're good versus 7x, and TT-88, which may be barely enough to call.
