A blind steal against a probably defense raise, I flop hard.

[euphoricism]

Im playin my standard sLAGyness. Villain has seen me steal toooons, and I've also showed some rediculous hands down. He's pretty tight, though, and definitely not been out of line, but he's also seen me shutdown preflop on blindsteals and could easily be just pushing back.

I think I need help on all streets. The turn check being especially bad, this ain't a trappin spot is it.

Fold preflop, bet like $25 on turn and then just bet river strong and hope he has something he wants to show down.

Min-raise the flop!

preflop is so bad

Min-raise the flop!

this is actually good advice vs your typical player if you make the play every once in a while.

preflop is always bad, but is especially bad given your bankroll situation.

I would probably just push the flop most of the time, but I will push over this c-bet here more then most, so you really have to figure out a way to balance your lines. Not stacking JJ+ here is criminal.

As played, I'd probably just bet the turn, hoping the other guy was going for the stack-a-donk.
