Sooo, I've decided to XC here - the reason being that I have less Jx in my range than him. I also don't fear that many turn card, so I don't need too much protection. And I can't expect to go for 3 streets here, readless.

And here is a mistake on my part, or at least so I think. My arguments:

-this card is better for my range (I can easily play any strong Ahi this way, whereas he probably xbacks most of his)
-I block some of his draws that barrel this card (KQ/KTs),
-my perceived range looks like strong Ahi, strong OvP that doesn't need much protection
-so, having said that, I don't think he's going to barrel this card all that light particularly often - he's not going to bet his mid OvP again for protection, since there isn't really anything to protect from at this point

So, to sum up, I think that I should have leaded this card - I don't mean a huge sizing - like a 1/4-1/4 PSB or so - just to charge his range a little bit and protect my hand from draws (that none of are folding against this bet size).

When checked, I think it's a clear XF.
