NL 1/2
Hero is at 190 or so. Villain is an OMC who's actually a really sincere good guy. I've known him for awhile now. He's at 210 or so. Hero is in the SB with 44
There are two limpers. Villain is in the Cutoff. I complete. BB checks. Four to a flop of
POT $8
4JJ
Hero flops the joint. Hero is shocked and just checked. Are there any of you who bet here? Am I doing that wrong? It checks around.
Turn 10
Hero bets $10, only Villain calls. I think he has a jack.
POT $28
River 10
Hero's hand is screwed. Hero checks. OMC bets $15 only and Hero snap folds. He is shown AJ. Is there anything I could have done here differently? Should I be betting flopped full houses? I'm open to redirection. Thanks in advance. Guess I lost the minimum.

The flop is an easy bet. In limped pots, we should lead all of our strong hands. Turn and river were well played.

Definitely betting the flop, especially vs. three players when one of them could easily have a J. Rest is fine.

Don't know why I freeze up and don't bet flops with these. I have to change. Thanks for the advice.

Yes need to bet flop knowing it may get folded around. Flush draw and Jack can call, anything else and you are not getting real money from them any way. Underfull is esp a mandatory bet here.

I’d bet $10-$12 otf, ap its fine

Yeah, flop bet is mandatory, esp with a FD out. Start building that pot and hope that someone hits a flush. If no one has a J, this is your best chance to build a pot. You have so many random 4s in your SB completion range that Vs with 55-TT are def not folding.

Also, please put "line check" in the titel of any thread like this where you include results, and only do so if that last decision is rather trivial, like this one.

I did not know that was what line check actually meant until now, LOL.

Yes, from now on bet out when this happens. Wish it happened more alas.
