The opponent is a typical calling station. Stats are 60-9. Although these are stats for 124 hands which i did not have on him at the time of this hand (could someone also please tell me how to see the opp. stats at the time of the hand in HM). But his nature of play was evident at the time


1) Again JJ with an overcard on the flop. His mini-donk given the nature of his play could mean anything, from a monster to a total bluff. I have a medium strength hand with which i dont want to make the pot too big and am not sure he will fold to a raise with a stronger hand here, so i just call.

2) An ace and flush draw. His check doesn't give us any information, for the reasons given above. I choose to semi-bluff, hoping he will fold hands stronger than mine, but without a club or an ace (any hand with a queen)

3) Since we did not get a flush and the opp did not fold to a turn bet, i choose to check behind, doubting he will fold to even a substantial bet here with a stronger hand.



What are your thoughts?

I'd rather you raise the c-bet and not let him draw to a flush cheaply, but what you're saying is okay.

You said he's a calling station, so don't semi-bluff. He's not folding a hand that beats yours so don't bother. Either bet for pure value or check your flush draw/set draw.

This is fine, though betting the turn and checking the river isn't a terribly consistent line. Better to check the turn and bet the river if you're going to bet. The bet would be for thin value, FWIW, thinking you'll get called by weaker pairs. Not to fold out Qx since he won't fold that or anything better.
