Posting this hand for a friend:

Hero: Early 20s white kid, first orbit at table

MAWG raises to $10 in MP over 1 limper, BTN calls, HERO 3b JJ to $42 from BB, only MP calls.

HU to KK5 flop ($90). HERO checks, MP shoves for $190 (we cover). Thoughts on whole hand?

I would have cbet this flop.

As played, we need reads on V in order to figure out what to do. Would he shove 88 here? NFD? AK?

Without reads I think I'd fold now. V did raise initially so he could have QQ or AK. We beat some FDs, but most of them will have at least one over so it'll be a 45/55 situation for us. Not looking to call off a 2x PSB here.

Also, my preference is to not 3bet JJ pre when readless or oop.

First orbit at the table without knowing anyone I'm flatting out of the blinds with JJ

AP, bet the flop

*Kick Out The Jams"

Obv, very hard with abs. no reads. My inclination (not sure it's a good one) is to try to avoid huge hands like this for a few orbits until i get some kind of base read. But, clearly that's not always possible.

As played, I'd really be suspicious of this bet. It doesn't really feel that that's how a Kx would play it. I suppose there are players that would be scared of the FD and feel the need to protect their K. But a more likely line for AK would be a check or small bet. But if they don't have AK or KQ... then what? I guess it could be 88+ or high clubs, and hero is strong against that range.

Having said that - it's first orbit and you have no reads... AP, I'd fold. I'd also have smooth called preflop, and probably check called the flop (assuming a 'normal' bet).
