Default Re: Tricky Hand vs JC Tran

This bet makes your hand look far too much like a weak to average hand looking for a showdown. Definitely check the river and do not bet that small into that pot if it will leave you with such a problem.

In terms of whether to call the most likely straight combos of J9c/AJc probably play harder on the flop most of the time. I could see them checking the turn though if he did play them slow. J9/AJ unsuited (obviously 2nd one is less likely too) and most made hands probably aren't wanting to give you a free river card since it's quite possible you have 2 clubs here.

It is really important here to look at how he views you? Any clues here? A lot here so far points to him not expecting you to be able to call.
