We are beaten by a 2, 55, 66 and 99+. All the hands that comprise the rest of villains range are more than enough hands to justify a call here. If you played these stakes and encountered this spot enough times I believe you would show a profit by calling.
is not slowplaying, it is trying to take the hand as a showdown with pot control, i won't overplay and lose control to the hand, clearly i lost control of the pot and most of the times when this happen i was behind so i stopped calling.
i'm adjusting right now in taking a lil more size on my value bets on the river. but otherwise and looking back to this hand i think is a close one but still a fold to me.
this is my profit with mid pairs JJ-77 (26k hands sample) only losing -18$ with 77 just because two big coolers (set over set) and a bad beat, so i like my strategy with those pairs.
