    Ugh his flop bet is so small, i'm prepared to raise and see how strong he is, people are obsessed with playing J-10 so i put him around that, but lots of re draws if he does,

    I just put him in.

    im with amybr here, if we reraise to a £1 and he goes over the top are you folding? if he flats, its going in on the next street. put it all in, you still got 10 outs to massivly improve as well. ( could someone tell me if my thinking is wrong here please)

    Not to my mind pod.

    We shouldnt really be assuming we are behind here.  Quite likely opponent has a a pair and draw, or lone pair lone draw.  You call pot stands at £1,2 opponent having £2.7 back.  If he as a two pair hand you have 8 clean outs, its very unlikely he has AK, likely just a spew call from SB connecting part of the board.

    No point flatting as if has a decent part of it he'll make a pot commiting bet at turn, getting it in there on a bingo turn.  If he is semi bluffing a straight, he'll likely call off he misses you win, or you likely chop it when hit.  But if you flat and brick hits turn, no more action.  Even if he has a set, implied odds are worth getting it in there.

    Dont see the need to mess him around, dont think he's lead folding, your hand has plenty of equity against all but the slimmest of ranges he may hold.

    Could just raise and get it in. I don't like shoving, no need to do that. Make it a quid and call it off/or shove turn.

    I think I would just call though.

    Cmon dude you know this makes sense xxx

    I am happy to call the flop but i think i pop it up on the turn purely because his bet sizing looks so weak. Looks like you got max value from this hand, dont think he would have called any re-raise on the streets.
