I think theres some advice and opinions ITT that are flat out wrong or misleading.

Good vil knows your hand is weak.
He bet into 3 players on a drawy board. He has something. He knows you dont except a FD or AT, KTs, some hand like that.
No. That information cant' be inferred from OP's description which is "TAG reg, plays straightforward, shown only strong PF hands, shown no bluffs"
He does not know your hand is weak. You called him PF, called Flop, made a sizeable turn bet. He may put us on some of those hands but thats not why hes raising.

I doubt this is air. But I wouldnt be surprised if its 2 overs + draw.
I'd be really ****ing surprised if it was, esp against a straightforward reg. Reg doesnt mean hes a winning pro it just means he goes there all the time, nothing more can be inferred.
Quote:
I really think you should've bet less ott as it would make him less inclined to bluff-raise you.
No. This is the opposite. Because you bet more on the turn his betting action correlates more with his hand strength and his action is more likely genuine.

i like to flat with jj against a villain you have mentioned as he probably will 4 bet qq+, not givin us the right price to set mine
Yes you're right! He probably will 4-bet QQ,KK,AA just like any other player in the history of holdem. So unless you dead-on read him for one of exactly 3 hands PF you should 3-bet. Using JJ to 'set mine' against a LP raiser on the button because he 'might' 4 bet you with QQ+ is God Awful logic and strategy.

flatting with jj gives us th eopurtunity to set mine and to indice bluffs by ak aq aj when they miss and the villain cbets
Yes that is correct however it doesnt make up for 1)the loss you take when overs flop and he hits and 2) straight up lost value from not 3 betting all the hands in his range that arent QQ,KK,AA (a strong majority are not)

Well, firstly, if we're betting out OTT, it's to take down the pot, which would seem a change to our previous line/ strategy (planned or default) to slow-play our overpair.
Checking keeps the pot small which is good, since we have a small hand and there should be a number of "safe" cards OTR, assuming we weren't always behind (but that's why we keep the pot small).
By betting, we not only open ourselves up to the C/R bluff, but we narrow Villain's range exactly when we're trying to get him to value-bet the blank river with A-T.
Yes if we bet turn it should be to take the pot down and get value from weaker hands. Just because we didnt 3-bet OR raise flop doesnt mean we should check the turn and compound errors.
Fear of a 'monsters under the bed' check raisebluff is never reason not to bet what is far likely the best hand OTT after villain checks. After all villain standard raised PF, bet half pot flop then checked the turn. Give me one reason to think we shouldnt bet this both for value and to protect against overcards losing the pot for us OTR after he checks.
