Ok my thought process on the flop was that we have some Ax in our range that want to check/call like AJ for example so it is advantageous for our range to balance these "weak SD-value" check-calls with some strong hands that can withstand some heat.

JJ is pretty nice in doing that especially with the BDFD it's better for check/calling.

BUT I thought this would be a board where I get maybe peeled quite often by PPs mostly because they put me on AJ AQ AK so I have a valuebet no?

So I don't really see my EV of c/c with JJ being higher than bet... but maybe it is because I'm unlikely to get 2 streets that it might be better to check flop`?

--------> Ok now turn comes.

I am not sure but now that I think about it I prefer check/call because we are not getting 3 streets out of a Tx anyway and we block quite a lot of flushdraws like JTcc QJcc AJcc J9cc KJcc that we don't really need to worry about protection.

I also believe that villain still has most of his 33-99 in his range so it's quite possible that he goes for a "protection" bet if I check to him, thinking that I bluffed flop with AK type hand and then give up turn.

Villain may also be on a complete float so the more I thin about it the more I like check/call with this specific holding.

However with QQ without a club I would say that a bet is better than check on turn.
Do you agree with me here that check on turn is better and that our blocker to FD is quite significant?

cheers
