    Default 1 hand for comments - $6.60 - 6 seater

    What's my move here? No real reads, how worried should I be about the second Jack?

    I'd probably make it at least 300 on the flop. When the 2nd Jack hits it's probably call down time.

    Would anyone fold a river push from Villian if the 4th heart hits?

    i'd fold this. He's prob picked up 3 jacks - i recon he has A-J as he ain't re-raised pre-flop.
    If he has AHearts that takes your flush out away and the only card that wins for you is a king.
    Annoying, but you gotta fold me thinks.

    also i think you could raise more pre-flop, though 300 is abit extreme. i'd make 125 to go.

    I agree with rubix--reraise bigger on the flop. When he calls your small reraise you don't know if he has TPNK or a flush draw. Say you bet the pot on your re-raise, making it 480 to go, and he called; that would leave him with 660 and a pot of 960, probably commiting him to the pot with whatever he had. Because of that, I wouldn't mind pushing all in over his flop bet. If he called the preflop raise with AJ or KJ, he's probably calling a push holding TPTK/TPGK. If he has a flush draw, he may call too. If he has a made flush, just fire up a new one (or scratch and claw your way back since you have him covered).

    One could also advocate, as rubix did, reraising to 300 and seeing what the turn (and his action) brought. I know it's easy to say in hindsight, but the J on the turn makes decisions harder now though.

    As played, I would call his relatively cheap turn bet and see what the river brings. If it is another heart and he bets to you, I would probably call anything reasonable. If it is a blank and he bets to you, I would probably fold.

    Just my thoughts.
