Poker at a casino...1/2$, min 100, max 300
Hero: Jack ace off @ Cutoff
UTG+1 Villain, bets 10 (500)
Hero flats (400)
SB calls (short stacked, 60)
Flop: Jack 2 3 rainbow
SB shoves all in for 50
UTG+1 calls
Hero re-raises to 150 total
UTG+1 calls
turn is a 3
Check from Villain
Hero checks
River is a seven
Villain bets 105$
In this position, would you call or fold?
Hero ends up folding, Villain shows pair of 9s, SB shows jack queen suited.
Villain brief analysis: Only played a couple hands with him, seemed to be a pretty solid player, not that much information.
He called a pretty healthy 3-bet. Really slowed me down and got me thinking what he had. Felt like jacks/queens/kings from the Villain. Was 100% sure he didn't have a 2/3 or bottom pair making a set. No flush draws, no straight draws available. Wasn't worried at all about the small blind's jam.
Was I wrong to fold? I hear the term pot committed a lot in these sorts of situations.
