JTs - extracting value ($6.50)

[Nakamura]

Villain here is a loose-ish player.

Should we be looking to value-bet on either the turn or the river here? As the hand stands the value bet seems a bit large to extract value. It kinda seems like I'm caught between semi-bluffing and value-betting (which is bad IMO).

Dude, fold preflop and check/fold flop. As played, DEFINITELY check the river and only call a very small bet.

You never believe they have the ace?

[Nakamura]

Hmm .... I normally fold this pre. I'm experimenting at the moment with SC, but I do think this is a very bad place to play SC.

I guess I figured with opp being quite loos-ish he definitely bets any A on the turn with position. Curiously opp does not show an A or J here.

fold pre, call on flop ok but only with loose player, check river and only call small. The river bet looks spewy

[TLR]

I would call the min raise preflop from the BB.
I would lead the flop for 250 or so and hope to take it right there, as played fold on flop

not always the best hand cannot be trying to extract too much becaue may very well be weakest hand in this situation
