Why would you want to induce a bluff when you have a marginal hand that can't stand to call a large raise?

I really don't like your river bet.

i probably check this river, i don't see the logic behind betting it, if he is as good as you say he is, what hand is he going to call this river with that you beat?

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.

I wanted to induce a bluff on this river by value betting into him, then suddenly when he raised me huge I had a change of heart [img]/images/graemlins/crazy.gif[/img]

That is a goofy river bet but so was your flop bet. Hands that make sense to me are 44 and a bluff but his range could include a lot of other hands that don't make sense to me like AJ.

The only way you can bet the river like that is if you have decided to call a raise, so go ahead and follow through.
