Default Re: Bluffing John Juanda when he has the nuts??

Looked like a case of FPS against a "world class" player which backfired. I'm assuming that bb was anticipating a bet from JJ which never materialized. The river brought the worst possible card in the deck and the big blind didn't know what to do. From his perspective it's tough to put JJ on a Seven, but the turn check does suggest that JJ has little.
I don't know if there's any history between the two, but JJ may be the type of player who will bet the flop, check the turn, and then bet the river with his big hands, but on a drawish board I don't think he would get too fancy on the turn in these type of spots.
