    Default Fold a boat??

    Both the villians here are very LAG, quite smart and both fond of overbetting pots. My image is fairly TAG.

    f1nky ???

    My hand is well disguised and I've induced a bluff but why would he bet that much without a J on such a scary board? What hands would min raise on the turn, quad 2's, JxQs maybe?

    I called the turn with the intention of C/R all in on the river but that J is the last card i want to see...

    you cant make this call. most times in this spot youll be beat. because he was getting good odds on his money preflop closing the betting round, it is plausible he could have the jack.

    if the pre-flop raiser made this play, it screams bluff, i call in a heartbeat.

    you should reraise the turn.

    i would lead the river as played and fold to a raise.

    I think you right gabe, kinda figured i had the nuts on the turn though and you dont really worry about suckouts with a boat

    Thing is i never really put him on a hand, i just knew he would bet the river anyway and was looking for a way to push me off the pot. Would a naked J reraise strength from EP and into the PFRer once a potential flush completed?

    Anyway I folded, but I can't help feeling I was outplayed.

    Fold here.

    You should NOT raise the turn; that will tip him off.
