Hero DOES WHAT on river?
Do you bet or check? Hero fears AJ, KJ (44 too). All other Jacks you have beat. Action?

what scares you about the 7 of clubs when the king of hearts didnt? i would say make another value bet and reload if he has you beat.

playing out of position does have it's disadvantage, you check and you look weak, you bet and he might raise you all in. you could also check call unless he pours his money in, then you have a decision to make IMO.

MP3 made a tiny tiny flop bet into a big field, what do you think he was trying to accomplish with this? In my limited experience, villains at this level either love to check or bet tiny on paired flops because they feel the need to get paid off in any way possible.

The call on the turn is a sign to me that his flop bet meant a decent amount of strength, most likely a jack. I kind of feel that we have been WA/WB this whole hand, and I wouldn't mind a check call on the river just to get our hand to showdown. I'd call anything up to a pot sized bet on this river.

I guess I asked this question because at the time I was being a wuss (my thoughts were negative and I had a fear I might be outkicked). Turns out the guy had TJ.

"as played, I'd bet 1/2 to 3/4 psb. "

What is 'psb'?

[Marshall28]

pot sized bet

Bet flop.
Bet more on turn.
Bet lots on river.

If he has you outkicked, reload.
