NL Holdem $400(BB) Replayer

Hero ($3,080)
UTG ($2,430)
CO ($510)
BTN ($3,220)

Dealt to Hero J♦ K♥

fold, CO raises to $510 (AI), BTN calls $510, fold, Hero calls $110

FLOP ($1,730) 3♠ 9♥ 3♦

Hero checks, BTN checks

TURN ($1,730) 3♠ 9♥ 3♦ J♠

Hero bets $800, BTN raises to $2,710 (AI), Hero calls $1,770 (AI)

Should i have just continue checking and call on the river if he bets?

Doesn't feel like i can value from worse with my turn bet.

Couldn't find a fold after he shoved there with my top pair

I think the bet is fine. I really have no idea what to do after btn shoves.

this is pretty sick...

I dont think unknowns mess around in spots like this, so i dont expect him to ship complete air. so out of his value-range we beat JT/QJ. rest of his hands have us crushed... so after we bet i think we just have to fold and save our 4bb stack for the bubble.

the decision to bet or check in the first place is pretty interesting because it is really hard to get calls from worse (maybe FDs,mid-pairs if he is a really big station), on the other hand you want BTN to fold his overs/FDs so you can take it to the river with the CO.This is one of those spots where we just want to take the pot down, even if we fold out a lot of combos that have little equity against us on the turn. so i think betting really is your only option. you could probably get away with just min-betting though, then you save those very valuable extra chips for the bubble if he does shove turn.
