anyways i played in a 1.10 BI tournament tonight, and i was in an odd hand against an unknown opponent

Hero 5.7k
SB 3.5k

Blinds 150/300 with a 15 ante 9 handed

Hero In the HJ seat A

Raise 300
SB calls
Pot is 885

Flop 2

SB bets 885
Hero Calls

Turn 2

Well i cant imagine im getting better to fold and i can only see a few hands calling at these stakes that i have beat (KJ QJ and Maybe J10), Would jamming the flop just be better so i can protect my hand?

I would jam flop. You'll get a call from hands with a jack and he may get stubborn with an 8. Stacks are short enough (in terms of BB) that he'll also call off any spade draws and straight draws despite getting a horrible price.

Unless you know that he's a very good player, I think the above line is fine. The fact that he called pre off of a 11-12bb stack suggests that he's a weak player. If he is in fact a strong player, he's usually trapping - that said, it's very tough to get away from the hand after seeing that flop.

Ah i messed up with the blinds damnit

blinds were 75/150 w/ 15 ante

you think my line was ok? but most of the time we should be jamming that flop after a pot sized donk bet fair enough

i had only seen him play two hands, but at these stakes i usually assume that hes a weak player until proven otherwise, i just found it so weird that he donk bets the flop like that, but on the river i think my call is very bad, i just cant imagine hes bluffing in that spot

Shove flop for value.
He's not folding and you crush his range

His check on the turn means hes really strong or really weak id rather be wrong on the turn then the river make a bet on the turn when there's a greater chance he'll fold.Especially if your going to call a river bet regardless of what card peals.

Yeah, shove flop for value. As played never ever folding river when villain bets that small.
