{I think you could have pressured a little bit more. Here's my thoughts:

He called your 26$ bet. That means he has something or he's bluffing. If he has something, he has either suited, potential straight draw, pair, or face cards. Most times, people fold potential straight draws. It's also pretty risky for him to mess with suited especially with you coming out strong. That means he has face cards or a pair of some kind. I think you can rule out aces because that would just be horrible luck.

At the turn he checks. This check means either he wants to sucker you, or he's waiting for a card. I think you thought he had a 2 face cards because that's what I was thinking. I thought might have a jack. At this point, it's a bit unclear exactly what he has. You bet 50% of the pot to see what he has. I would've bet a little bit less here.

He then raises you in return. At this point, he might have a very strong hand, or he believes he can bluff you out of the pot, thinking your hand is strong, but not strong enough to match this bluff.

This moment is where everything comes down to the line. This is where I think: Okay. Either he has a hand, or he doesn't. I've never seen anyone check raise, while waiting for a straight to hit. That's just bad basic strategy.

You probably pondered, he might have tripple5s, trippleJ's, random 2 pair. Straight and flush draws are out of the question. The flop doesn't present itself as good bluffing material.

You did good in not re-raising. That indicates you believe he is strong. He knows this too.

The turn comes and it's another jack. This most likely eliminates him having a 3jacks. It also eliminates chances of him having flushes/straights. Online poker does not lend itself to betting. Online poker is usually about best play. He bets 145 here. He clearly has something, and the way he's playing does not feel like 2pair play. 2pair play is extremely risky to be check-raising especially on your early show of strength. I would've folded.

^O_o

I am also confused, what hand are you talking about

cliffs on the first post?

its too long

so i did waste my time.

kdog - first off you have no idea of how these games run and the history behind these hands.

kangs - 3bet pot, overpair, he played the hand quite perfectly and avoiding losing more to a rangemerge jam on the river that he would have to call x% of the time.

KK is good here a huge % of the time.

cuz stacksizing of everyone being deep, i like a much larger 3bet OOP pre. IP i don't mind this sizing.
