blind battle

[LawDude]

No reads or stats, just sat down and never played this guy before. At this level, though, wide blind-stealing ranges are common and I like J7 in either a 2- or 3-way pot as a blind defense hand.

J7o is pretty much dogshit. I don't like the cold call pre. I think there are much better ways to defend your blinds.

why are we defending the sb with a call? 3bet or get out. and, it appears your BB counterpart is tighter than a monkeys ass. who folds there? 5:1 vs a steal and sb call? cmon.

as played, i like the c/r on the flop to cut BB out. i like the c/r when improved to what almost has to be the best hand on the turn. and, i make a puke c/c on the river. i can see lots we beat calling if we bet, but i dont like the situation much if he raises us.....we dont have a read as to how often he will bluff raise after bluff 3betting the flop when the draws are out and come in.

i hate c/c'ing here with top 2, but i see a lot of overcard/TP type flushes coming in on this river often enough to make me want to avoid a raise. however, i completely toss cookies when he checks behind his overpair.
