£40 standard HU sng, float/jam turn, ok? (long xplanation)
Prob shudnt be playing this game, was v deep into a session, and a very good session where I was +180ish has faded away and I was now only +40 for the day, and felt tilted....
40 quid games r still comfortably within my roll, but at least 2 levels higher than I normally play, and as I was tilted abit I cudnt be bothered to wait so reg'd for a game v one of the most successful HU sngers on't site.
Its ok tho I figured it was a 1 off game, and if I lost it's annoying but break even-ish session aint too bad.

Hand.....
He's obv a pretty agro player, and had 3bet me once in the game so far with JQ, I peeled in position with K9, and turned it into a bluff on 8,9, T, only to see he had flopped the nuts with JQ.
I raised his flop lead, he flats, and checks turn and riv to me, I'd given up with 2nd pair and showdown value, feeling I'd be ahead quite often with his line.
On to this hand, I decide to float this board, knowing I've got position, overs, and good back door equity to play the turn aggressively.
Turn is a good card, just the kinda thing I was looking for, but he decides to bet again...
I guess now I don't really have a choice having floated the flop? I have to put it in?
Or can I just call, because it looks like he's never folding?
Calling leaves me with only 600 back should I brick off though, and although the blinds are 10/20 and I'd have 30 bigs, it's gonna be a long way back from there.
Should I just fold flop?
3 points..
1) peel pre ok?
2) float flop ok?
3) call/shove/fold turn?

2) Float marginal. As you mention, sufficent back door equity.
3) As played, when turn comes Jd, if you do anything BUT shove its bad. Nullifies the whole logic of the line. IM(sullied)Opinion anyway
Now answer my sigh call post, its bugging me
turn shove, oppo not folding ever but you have to shove
does oppo think J is the scare card ?
horrible spot, pray he folds
If you call pre you cant just play fit or fold, flop float ok imo if he checks turn when hes missed a lot or you are prepared to jam over a double barrell on lots of turns. I wouldnt be a big fan of jamming over a barrell though given odds he will get to call
I think you can prob flat turn, but I dont mind folding either
