    Red face 5nl 6-max JTs Top Two From SB

    A hands from a small session I just played.

    Hand 1

    Poker Stars No-Limit Hold'em, $0.05 BB (6 handed) - Poker Stars Converter Tool from http://www.flopturnriver.com

    UTG ($5.98)
    MP ($5)
    CO ($11.08)
    Button ($2.57)
    Hero (SB) ($10.15)
    BB ($5)

    Preflop: Hero is SB with 10, J
    UTG raises $0.15, 2 folds, Button calls $0.15, Hero calls $0.13, 1 fold

    Flop: ($0.50) 6, 10, J (3 players)
    Hero checks, UTG bets $0.31, 1 fold, Hero raises $1.50, UTG calls $1.19

    Turn: ($3.50) 5 (2 players)
    Hero bets $4.40, UTG calls $4.33 (All-In)

    River: ($12.16) 6 (2 players, 1 all-in)


    UTG is 37/29 after 80 hands, cb flop 6/9 times. Has made a few silly calls and turned 77 into a bluff for seemingly no reason and bet 3 streets w/KQs on Axx w/fd blank turn and A river.

    BTN is looking to be a weaktight player 18/13 after 40 hands and not really done anything of note.

    Pre I think calling here is fairly standard, can't really think of any benefits to 3betting in this spot, but feel free to correct me.

    Flop I'm obviously chuffed, UTGs range isn't going to be all that strong but the board is fairly wet and I think he's cbetting plenty here and rarely folding which makes x/r the best play especially as we can hopefully the BTN to put some money into the pot with a call, don't see any point in not raising bit and charging him to chase his draws. Obviously snapping a shove, when UTG does flat I think he doesn't have any sets in his range.

    Worth noting here that UTG banks and clicks call after using like 10 seconds of his time bank which makes me believe he is incredibly draw heavy in this spot, is this a bad assumption? I also think he may have the odd hands like AJ.

    Turn is a pretty blank card and if he can't fold his draws on the flop why would he want to be folding them now after already calling a big bet, same for any TP type hands after no draws get there. If he can convince himself I'm bluffing on the flop, why not here too? The shove also definitely was influenced by the fact that I couldn't see any other way to go about sizing it.
