This is fine.

You can also donk the river intending to fold to a raise.

It's okay vs. an unknown. If you know that CO is a solid player then he's pretty much never betting this river with a worse hand.

I like a river bet, they'll often bet this turn trying to get a free showdown with KK and JJ, and given the way you played it they'll be inclined to look you up.

Your line's pretty good though.

I hate taking weak lines like this but I don't seen any place we can bet this hand. There are so few hands we're ahead of here that I probably drop this on the turn.

Please don't fold this. [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]

looks good, but bet the river and fold to a raise, preventing QQ/KK from checking behind.

I don't think QQ would check behind, DUCY?

i wouldn't raise before the flop with Ace-Jack offsuit. maybe it's because your online, and the games are different you need to raise with weaker hands but still.. it's Ace-Jack. after you get three betted i don't think you'll ever win unless the flop comes with two or three jacks on it. that being said, calling down isn't a terrible play. the preflop play was, imo.
