Hero (BTN): 4,430
SB: 5,205
BB: 5,225
UTG: 3,265
UTG+1: 2,425
UTG+2: 3,735
MP1: 2,415
MP2: 3,645
CO: 4,815

Pre-Flop: (120) T♦ J♥ dealt to Hero (BTN)
2 folds, Hero raises to 240, 5 folds, BB calls 160

Flop: (520) 4♦ 7♠ 2♦ (2 Players)
BB checks, Hero bets 285, BB raises to 570, Hero calls 285

Standart situation: folded to the button, I raise 3x to steal, contibet just over half the pot (my usual) on a non scary board. Villain min-raises: what to do? I have too overcards, villain could have anything: two overcards, any kind of pair, trips, total junk. It costs me 285 to call for about 1400 pot, I have position and overcards + backdoor draws. I make a questionable call.

Turn: (1,660) T♥ (2 Players)
BB bets 1,660, Hero calls 1,660

Non-scary turn card for opponent. He bets pot - what could he have? Air, a pair of sevens, big hand? I hit and call with top pair: is this a mistake? Should I fold? Reraise? Call?
River: (4,980) 4♠ (2 Players)
BB bets 2,755 and is All-In

All in on the river - as played, call or fold?

i would not stealraise with JT here.
your M is just about 40. so there is no need to risk 240 chips to get those 120 out there.
somehow you just push your image as a steal raiser AND invest some chips for a losy pot with no need to.

but as played, fold to this raise.
you dont know if your overcard outs are any good.
so the odds arent favourable. just fold.

as you can see. you`ve invested 520 to steal a pot of 120 in a situation where 120 are not much compared to your stack.
