    I probably fold because he either has a straight or something really bad (A good hand would check here I think?), and he called the flop so he must have something.

    My bankroll is the amount of money I would spend or lose before I got a job. It is calculated by adding my net worth to whatever I can borrow.

    I disagree that calling the flop means he has anything, but I am not beating much either.

    it's just not a favorable spot for him to bluff and its almost impossible he's betting that much for value with a worse two pair. give him a little credit for calling the flop out of position.

    I agree with the fold, but I disagree with a lot of comments so far. Maybe I'm seeing sumtin different than u guys in my short time playing, but people seem to defend their blinds with anything that has a moderate chance to crack.

    I would give credit if he reraised, but his coldcall preflop means nothing to me. His call on the flop meant TJQ or A to me. Maybe a turn bet on my part would have defined his hand better.

    This is almost never a bluff.

    meh

    it all depends on your history with villain. if he s been aggro and you ve been tangling I like a call

    if you have no history of confrontations i can find a fold. Thing is, his bet only makes sense if he thinks you re a fish and wants you to "think he's bluffing". Very tough to give advice here imo. Other thing to consider is you're obviously scared here, so he almost HAS to bluff if he s not horrible...
    when the vpip's are high and the value bets are like razors, who can be safe?

    Doesn't look like blind defence to me, your raise from MP is no steal. Plus that is the weakest defending of a blind I have ever seen, call, call, check, then bet on the super scary river.

    I see him having QJ TJ way too much here. Everything in his hand up to this point says he has something. If you have no reason to believe this person is capable of a bluff then there's no reason to call. He called you preflop OOP then again on the flop then makes a fair sized bet on a dangerous board, I say give him some credit.

    And then he flips over 7Js and that whole theory goes out the window.
