Let's say I got TT on middle position, I raise preflop, BTN calls me and so does BB. Flop comes J72 rainbow, I make the standard bet and BTN calls me. Now I'm oop and lost, I can't bet and if I check/call I'll have to put all my chips on the river. I mean, why bother having any post-flop knowledge (not much, but more than those low buyin donks) if this always happens... Too many calling stations and maniacs to even play any poker, it gets really annoying and fustrating...
More details.
What stake ?
Can you post full hand ?
As that you can't push coz this will put you allin, to live you must be willing to die.
Ya, you should post the hand.
Its hard to comment without the actual hand. You should post any stats or reads you have aswell.
Ahh, well if its in general.
Against 2 players I wouldn't conti bet everytime. It is player and stack dependant imo, and makes it easy to get away from, if the turn brings another overcard.

This is what I mean. it depends on the player, but he could do that win an 8 or a J.
Yes his betting amount looks alittle strange. This also depends hugely on the limit aswell.
If this hand was in a $55 sng, i would push to his bet. If its a $1 sng, i would fold.
but he can do this with alot depending on the limit. He has a big stack.
What limit is it?

The worst limit there is, $1
$1 games are confusing. He could be holding anything. But that size bet looks too big for a bluff for this limit.
