Bovada 5 dollar Rebuy 1,500 guarantee
Hero has been playing aggressive but has been getting hands. None have went to showdown so image is probably a loose spew monkey. Blinds are 100/200
Hero is UTG with 16,237 (82bb) and has JdJh. Hero raises to 555 and is called by the cutoff and small blind. No reads on these players other than your standard tourney donks. With no antes hero usually raises 2.5-3.0x to induce weak calls from blinds also to keep pot small for c-bet. Hero is good at post flop play and is not scared to take flop with hand
Mp+2 8,060 (40 bb) calls and so does the Small blind 8,864 (44 bb) flop comes 7c6d4h (pot 1865)
small blind donk leads for 600 Mp+2 folds and Hero raises to 1600 and small blind calls turn is 9d now board is 7c6d4h9d pot size is 5065
Small blind is first to act and he bets pot 5065. What do you do??
I want to get some responses of range of villain, why is he betting pot, what does hero do in this spot with JJ.
I will post next action after some discussions curious to what people would do.

The size of the pot basically commits you if you call, so really its all-in, or fold. Best case scenario is he called with 89 as a draw, and paired the turn to go along with his draw, or has a flush draw (which is unlikely given the action). Worse case scenario is that you are down to 2 outs or drawing dead. I believe that you are behind his range. You have to be very suspicious about him leading out for pot too. It makes me think the turn improved his hand and he is trying to price out flush draws. I'd just fold unless I had a specific read that told me otherwise.

Well I called and he had K8 for a gutshot and an over. i won the hand and later won this tourney but when I look back at it I don't like the call. I think most times I am behind here against two pairs or sets. It was early in tourney and i don't think in long run calls here are +ev. I guess my thinking at time was if i call and lose I am not out of tourney, still don't now if i should have called. Anybody else agree?
