Hi All first time posting here, forgive any newbie mistakes. I am new(sort of) to live poker after being away 10 years and being a LHE guy.

1/2 NL 300 max. 8 player table

Villain and I roughly equal stacks, about 350. He has topped off a couple of times and has come back. Aggressive, seems very solid. He was BTN to my BB. Never called from the BTN, raise, 3 bet or fold. I have raised more than most, can't remember how many times I had 3 bet if any. We had been playing 2-3 hours or so. I am sure he saw me as tight old guy.

Hand:

Hero is BB JsJd

2 limpers. BTN raises to 9.

H raises to 30, limpers fold, BTN calls.

$65 in pot


FLOP is 10 7 4 r

I bet 30 or 35 BTN calls. Bad bet? I am starting to worry about playing for my stack OOP with pocket jacks.

~125-135 in pot

Turn is

As

Hero?

Thanks

if you're worried about the pot getting too big for your hand, start by checking the flop. this board whiffs you a lot so if you check villain will often do the betting for you with a very wide range. you also keep your range nebulous instead of face up.

e.g. if you checked this flop and called a reasonable bet, this turn will often go check/check because villain will be worried you have AK. now that you're here, if you check turn your hand is pretty face up as JJ-KK putting you in a potentially bad spot.

against straightforward loose passives, its better to just value bet. against thinking players there is more value in withholding information they can use against you.

Bet around 45, fold if he raises

played fine so far
