I think in retrospect I was ahead here. A set isn't checkraising that flop...what, a better 2-pair?

Anyway, just looking for some insight.

[outphase]

check/raising that flop seems like J9 here, but I have a feeling you're ahead because many players at this level always slowplay to the river.

edit: realized "behind" does not mean "ahead"

[ensign_lee]

he has jacks and doesn't believe either of you. and by jacks, I mean a lone pair of jacks. JT or something.

I'd flat call if I think I'm ahead, which I think you are. Otherwise, you could reraise for information, but in all honesty, only hands that beat you call you in that situation.

I like my hand here, you're the BB you are the one who could have two random ass cards catch two pair on a raggy board. I think a set or top two would just smooth call and continue to extract more on the turn/river since the board is relatively drawless (you probably aren't bettign 1.50 OOP on the strait draw). Looks like a weak J (QJ, KJ) or a bluff.

im not quite sure why you think youre ahead. i want to be the one c/ring with bottom 2, not the one calling c/rs.

[Rondavu]

You are ahead on the flop here. Push your chips in the middle.
