JJ BvB

[iceman5]

$1/$2 NL 6 max

Villain is one of the few aggros at Cake. Well, hes aggro preflop. Post flop hes pretty standard I think..

I open to $6 in the SB with JJ. He makes it $20 in the BB. Eff stacks about $235.

1) Call and see a flop?
2) Reraise to $60?

I did one of these. Flop is AK4. Whats the plan for scenarios 1 and 2?

1. if we do this it's mainly to outflop overs, and gain a cheap pot. I do it in tourneys, but in cash I'd tend to stay away from it. On this flop, we have very little info so your options are
a) c/f; weak but safe
b) c/r; prolly our best option at this point, obv folding to a 3b. The big issue is how to play vs a coldcall/float; so we're gaining equity by optimizing our chances of taking it on the flop, but vs a good player (or shitty station) we're kindof out on a limb w/ very little info.
c) cb/f; dont like it, pretty weak and has the negatives of option b w/o the benefits

2. Prolly the better option, gaining more info and getting more money in w/ presumably the best hand. When he flats the 60 and we see this flop our options are:
a) c/f; horrible and weak
b) c/r; meh, looks bluffy and puts a lot of money out in a weak spot.
c) cb/f I like this the best I think, horrible flop, happens and he prolly has us beat if he raises the bet; vs a coldcall we get a free turn generally and were gonna have to reevaluate if we dont (generally folding).
