Call. You have the money, but your dead to a pocket 10s or better. I dont think that trip jacks ever bet 1 at the flop or turn, (those smell like poor feeler bets with an underpair).

It’s hard to say without any reads, but I’d probably fold here. All you can realistically beat is QT, a smaller pair, or a complete bluff. We’re beat by AA, KK, QQ, a Jack, TT, with the slight possibility of a split. Getting around 2-1…I just don’t think you’re ahead enough here to make the call.

Nobodies shown any real aggression in this hand. You’ve played 1 orbit which probably isnt enough for this player to confidently check knowing someone will raise behind him so why wouldnt he lead out with some sort of value bet if he had 1010 or better? I think hes either got quads or hes risking a big bet thinking nobody has anything either and can win with something like an AQ/KQ or Jacks full of 9′s or lower. Still a tough spot without playing more hands with this player.

its already a decent pot, call him. if he had an over pocket pair, why dident he raise on the flop. he either has 2 overs or you will end up chopping the pot.

I agree with methods – I doubt he would have checked his hidden FH with 10s+. Plus 2-1 are good odds; if you’re right only half the time you win 20 bucks. Plus bluffs aren’t exactly a rarity at this level. I say call.
