playing my local £50 rebuy last week i found myself in this spot would you of called here ?

1st of all the guy i was playing is very aggressive esp in the blinds agaist me so i am looking for a spot to get it in against him and i think i have a good tell on him

ive got 26,000 chips he has 28,000 chips blinds 800,1600

everyone passes ( as usual on our blinds ) i find a J and make it up without the other card he raises 3200 i call still seeing 1 card i know i can get this guy

the flop comes 8 9 10 i check he bets 3200 i peak and find J 5 offsuit something in my gut tells me this guy has the 7 not a pair not a high card just a 7 prob 75 or simlar i decided because i put him on that hand no matter what comes other than a 7 or 5/4 im not passing this hand and flat call his bet i check the turn in the dark he bets in the dark turn is a K and i call i check the river in the dark river comes an A and he shoves now i have to stick my life on the line if my reads right it looks incredible if its wrong i look like a right numty i call he turns over 7-4 and i scoop a huge pot with J high

would any of you do that ? if you put the guy on a hand do you risk everything on that ? if i lost i wouldnt of really botherd because if i put someone on a hand and i can beat it all my chips are going in

If you're going to FPS with jack-high, at least put in a raise somewhere rather than just stationing off your entire stack on a draw... donk flop, c/r flop, something, give him a chance to fold at some point.

And no, I don't do that, there's no way I can put him on precisely undercards.

pass pre imo. limping in oop versus an aggro opponent with J5o seems abit pointless. If iv limped i check raise the flop prepared to call the shove. If you dont take it down on flop i shove the turn, making sure my bet sizes were ok, ie c/r his flop bet to 8400, shove the turn for 16k. your river call is lol - even if you know he's bluffing there alot of hands he will be turning into bluffs that are acually ahead of you.

So lets get this straight - you make up pre flop after seeing 1 card? You then call a raise STILL only seeing 1 card? At no point in the hand do you find out if the villain is actually beating J high. IMO you played the hand like a gambler? It's people like you that I find when I play 10 pound re-buys. You are obviously serious enough about the game to post a question on here, so why not be serious enough to play properly. You had 2 moves preflop, raise or fold.

I'm guessing this was one of those rare occasions where playing completely unorthodox and risky based on an incredible read got paid off the maximum.

Basically a brad post, innit. Lol wp imo.

push on turn is the best and easier option Razz
