1/2/10: I semi-bluff GII with an open ended
$1/$2 live, 6-handed, $525 effective.
UTG straddle to $10. I open to $25 from UTG1 with J♠T♠, and get five callers — so the whole table sees the flop.
Flop ($150): 9♦ 8♠ 2♦
Checks to CO who bets $20 (very weak sizing), BTN calls, then SB, BB, and UTG also call. Sensing weakness, I raise to $200 with my open-ended straight draw (I block T9 and have some backdoor flush potential) representing the overpairs.
Folds back to BB who jams for $500 total… I feel priced in and call against what looks like a flush draw or non-believing 9x because this guy was very aggressive with QJ on a QT8 board so he’s never flatting $20 on flop with 2p+.
Thoughts?

BB who back jams has a very strong range including some sets, some 2 pairs, some combo draws, some nut flushdraws.
I don't think 9x plays this way.
But, you're pot committed already, yea you have to call.
Well played.
