66 CO on J92r: Call To Keep Bluffs In

Single-Raised Pot
Flop
2♥ 9♠ J♠

Call small flop c-bets with weak pocket pairs in position rather than raising and isolating yourself against stronger holdings.

Flop Analysis

Calling is the primary play, though raising functions as an aggressive low-frequency mix. Facing a small bet, calling realizes equity cheaply and keeps UTG's bluffs and overcards in play.

Note: Raising turns a hand with showdown value into a bluff and folds out missed broadways we currently beat.
