Yeah, so just a line check please guys. Just trying to iron out a few creases in my game.

I had no notes on boris but do know i have seen him before so doesnt seem like he has ever been out of line. Not that it matters too much in this hand i dont think.

Pre flop, i thought about the 3-bet, but i am out of position and i am not going to like a good % of flops and would be betting in the dark. If undercards come on the flop then i can be more confident of continuing in the hand.

Flop, i am obviously checking to the aggressor and trying to keep worse hands in the pot. If i donk out there is a fair chance i only really get called by better if villain doesnt get out of line that often.

When it checks to the end, can i bet for value on the river? What worse hands am i getting value from?

Views on how i played the hand please.

    I prefer 3bet pre for value purely as on the button his range has to be quite wide even at NL8 (at least I know mine would include a mass of hands JJ is ahead of and I'm a nit lol).

    Flop, turn fine.

    River might bet myself as it looks a like an AK/AJ/A10 just cbetting minimum then shutting down (that's how I would personally play such hands), any Q is betting the turn unless they're insane and on double paired board Ax might well snap you off.

    Not sure I like c/c unless they see value from Ax or maybe 99/TT.

    Yeah pretty much as Dude said, I'm 3betting preflop with JJ. Flop and turn is fine.

    I think you can make a small value bet on the river, but anything too big is only getting called by hands that beat you (assuming he's not a station).
