Well the EP raise was not the best idea.
but after his minbet i thought i get good odds to continue the hand even out of position.
J8 has good enough playability.
when he bet 2$ maybe should have just called and taken the almost free card
but at that moment i thought he might be weak ... i have some FE and even if he calls i am still ~ 30 % while if i flat the action is probably dead if i hit on turn
But letz rethink the hand.
His range for minraising preflop is either a monster AA KK or a good hand that he is very good but he is scared of to play since his postflop skills suck. QQ JJ AK AQ TT -> with this hands he is afraid of facing overcards or not hitting flop while at the same time he feels like 3 betting them for value.
so knowing that stuff
i guess he would bet 2$ here with QQ JJ AQ most likley , while he bet bigger with TT KK AK AA i thought.
i mean the board is so dangerous that such a small bet makes absolutely no sense except for weak tight player putting in some money ready to fold most of the time.
U see what i did there with A8 ? He 4 bets and there we go insta jam A8 : ---booooom -- . hahahaha ( Krantz)
