I'd bet a large proportion of the pot. If you get raised, you have to decide whether they have a Jack or not, but to me, a bet defines your hand.

[Nade]

As played pre flop.

Flop i'd bet about $2.50 - $3 and hope to take it down.

Basically what hornet said

[friskyfitz]

For me, its a $4-5 bet

Any raise and Im out.

I want to TOTALLY understand what my bet is....J,2 has me fcuked


€2-3 might not be good enough to take it down

Agree, it's also possible they are drawing to a straight

[robsterling]

There's only $3.12 in the pot, why would you ever bet $4-5?

FWIW if I bet, I bet like $2.4. Although sometimes I might check and make a delayed c-bet on the turn - in some people's minds this looks like a J. Read dependent as are most things... depends on the aggression of the other players. Whether I check or bet here I would have good reason though, either can be good.

Aarggh! Not what you wanted to see. His call tells you little other than he has something (Q,J,draw) and the turn card is dangerous.

I'd check here, and fold to a bet. If he also has a Q or is still on the draw, he will probably take the free card. If the river was a blank, I'd put out a blocker bet of about a third of the pot (and again fold to a raise).

This is the final hand I'm due to play for this session.

Surely you have at least some info then?

Good question

Unfortunately, very little. The player arrived at the table very shortly before this hand came up, and joined without waiting for the Big Bilind to come around.

[SteveO]

Can't see what he'd call your bet on the flop with unless he has k10 or a jack.

I'd check fold or if he really is a maniac check call, but I'm done with this hand most of the time.

[robsterling]

I much prefer a bet/fold to a check fold here. The hands you are behind are Jx, K10 and 810. His range for calling the flop can be very wide Qx, any pocket pair, 109, A high, complete air looking to float. By check folding you will be giving up the best a hand a large amount of the time.

As played I would bet about $5.50 and be folding to a raise. Checking seems far too weak to me especially as a lot of players float/bluff paired flops regularly, a check is under representing your hand imo and check raise isn't really much of an option.

He may still call with a worse hand - 1010 will call a lot here, Q10 will call, KQ will call and maybe a few others, obviously if he raises you beat nothing but a bluff really or a made hand like one of the above turned into a bluff. If called river is obviously a check/fold unless he bets tiny or you spike a Q.
