Flop ($2.15) J J 8
Hero bets $0.95, MP calls $0.95, CO folds
Turn ($4.05) J J 8 K
Hero bets $2.10, MP calls $2.10
River ($8.25) J J 8 K 5
Hero bets $2.25, MP raises to $8.97 and is all in, Hero calls $6.72
Final Pot SB lost and shows two pair, Aces and Jacks.
MP wins and shows a full house, Jacks full of Kings.
MP wins $25.19
Rake is $1.00
At the time my thought process was that V has many missed flush draws and only value combos being KJ, AJ, 88 (AJ which we block heavily). If we were holding ace of hearts I think I would have folded pretty easily, in retrospect NL5 population just not bluffing enough in these spots? I feel like this is probably a fold but could just be results orientated...

Any help appreciated :)

  1. Don´t mind the flop bet, but you can consider checking 3ways here
  2. Once you bet the flop I would prefer checking this turn. Villain has quite a strong range, with tons o Jx. Versus a probable fish betting becomes more atractive as he would be less aggro with draws, but betting is still a unnecessary polarization imo
  3. I don´t think the block accomplishes much here. Only worse hands he calls is Kxhh, and you leave yourself open to a shitty spot such as what happened. I would check and decide depending on villain´s bet sizing/reads. Facing a jam I would just fold. Some fish might turn some random draw into a bluff versus your weak bet, but from my experience this move on such a large pot is very value heavy.

River raises are the nuts generally.
Later street raises on paired boards are trips + way more often than they should be

Thanks for the responses guys, looking like I have a clear fold here and checking the turn is an interesting play as I don't think I'm getting called that often by Kx on riv when I bet 3 streets

Fold river, don't like your river size. I like to take a turn check reasonable amount of the time. Bet Bet Bet I think AA is slightly too weak for that line given the 3way flop the large amount of Jx. I think B XC XC can be fine or B B XC , those I think are better than B B B
