Hi,

My question is if I played correctly using my blockers to nuts ? Villain is pretty aggro, definitely could bet turn w/ decent range of hands.

Full Tilt Pot-Limit Omaha, $2.00 BB (6 handed) - Full-Tilt Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com

SB ($200)
BB ($200)
UTG ($187.15)
Hero (MP) ($396.05)
CO ($267.45)
Button ($200)

Preflop: Hero is MP with J, K, K, J
1 fold, Hero bets $7, CO calls $7, 3 folds

Flop: ($17) 3, 9, J (2 players)
Hero bets $15, CO calls $15

Turn: ($47) 10 (2 players)
Hero checks, CO bets $47, Hero raises to $188, CO raises to $245.45 (All-In), Hero calls $57.45

River: ($537.90) 4 (2 players, 1 all-in)

Total pot: $537.90 | Rake: $3

i don't think he is folding often enough after he pots turn, and i dont think his folding 8Q here.

I'd rather bet the turn with these stack sizes

i dont think the nut straight (or any other straight )would ever check that turn, so i would bet out and hope i can TID without too much of a fight

I think when villain bets the turn he has a K blocker too, except that he probably has a Q to go with it also. Your line doesn't make sense for the nut straight in the sense that you probably wouldnt take this line if you actually had it. Hes either betting the turn for value or as a bluff, if its for value hes stacking off, if its as a bluff hes folding so it doesn't matter if you have blockers or not.

You aren't playing these correctly as blockers.
On this board he can have 78 or 8Q for a straight so your "blockers" have less relevance.

Don't try to play "blockers" on boards where they can still have a straight when they don't hold the cards you are using as "blockers".

eg. holding JJ on a 89Q is much better.
