This was maybe 6 or 7 hands into the match, so not many reads. Villain had opened every button at that point, and min3bet my open once by this point.

Poker Stars $5.00+$0.25 No Limit Hold'em Tournament - t10/t20 Blinds - 2 players
The Official 2+2 Hand Converter By DeucesCracked Poker Videos

BB: t1530 76.50 BBs
Hero (BTN/SB): t1470 73.50 BBs

Pre Flop: (t30) Hero is BTN/SB with A

Hero raises to t60, BB calls t40

Flop: (t120) J

(2 players)
BB bets t40, Hero calls t40

Turn: (t200) Q

(2 players)
BB bets t80, Hero calls t80

River: (t360) T

(2 players)
BB bets t300, Hero folds

Villain turned out to be super aggro pre, and passive/spewy post, min3bet calling with hands like KJ and K7

This is a pretty standard line right? There's nothing I'm doing fundamentally wrong in these situations right?

Can anyone see a value raise on the flop, or are there just too many bad cards on the turn or river?

I actually put a clause into my post about raising, but I don't like it very much readless. The hand can get a little awkward if you don't have an idea of how villain plays

the thing w the raise is that u will see so many bad cards on the turn, is going to be hard to play. but, if u had some solid reads on the villain u could think about it.

ya, agreed - just feel sick for letting villain block bet like that.

Maybe with solid reads, but this was within the first dozen or so hands.

What kinds of reads would I be looking for to be able to raise second pair on the flop? I guess cause it's a pretty wet board, right?
