That's a big draw. That's a big pot. Shall I take a stab?

datrip1 is a regular who I have played with a lot. I think he maybe wins some money playing poker. I guess he's pretty good, I think he's pretty bad. Kentucky I hadn't played with before but was on lots of tables and seemed to be another kinda overaggro exploitable TAG.

I decide to flat call with my double gutter on the flop cause datrip always thinks I'm bluffing and prolly ships it in with JJ so I don't have the fold equity or "free card" equity that I need to make a flop raise > call.

I think turn is close, thoughts?

Deep stacks compared to pot size raise it up 1/2 - 2/3 pot? I'd think about if u get a caller pushing the river with any card . You could also try and bluff the river if a brick comes unless you put them on a 4.

It feels close but I lean towards a call because the BB could easily have 5-4 and I don'te feel like overpairs ever fold to a bet here.

I fee like it comes down to how much fold equity you have, I just don't think you have that much given the dynamics of the situation.
