Hello, I would like to ask something. I don't understand one thing. The SSS says if we raise before flop we play at least middle pairs. I guess my jacks is a bottom pair in this situation, so is it right to make a continuation bet or rather just play check/fold? Thanks

As the preflop aggressor and against 1 opponent you will want to make a c-bet nearly 100% of the time. Any hand will only hit the flop 1/3 of the time, so there's a good chance villain has missed the flop and folds if you show aggression.

Hey JohnDoe1313,

Your hand on this board is considered trash, because there are 2 overcards to your pair. If there was only one overcard to your pair then you could consider your hand a second pair. And moreover, you still can't play your second pair as made hand with SSS when the overcard to your pair is an ace.

Nevertheless, although you don't have a made hand you should still c-bet on dry boards against a single opponent. So, correct it would be to c-bet the flop and the size of my c-bet here would be 0.15$.

Best regards,
