If you call the flop and the turn you have to call this kind of river bet.

Calling or making a move for the pot.

but if you're floating why would you fold on the turn when you hit a jack?

I wouldn't.

As played call, next time fold the flop without reads, floating OOP with two undercards and a gutshot is a pretty good way to lose chips and frustrate yourself.

Agree. So the thing with this hand that has me thinking, flop and turn spewing aside, is that river bet.

I mean, I've been calling his strongish bets down on the flop and turn. The river card didn't change anything, so why does he bet so small now?

I don't think it's a weak king. Don't you check behind with a weak king here? (This reason alone is why it's retarded to play the hand the way I did, oop.)

If he has a monster, doesn't he value bet a bit more. At least 1/2 pot. In my mind, there's no reason he should expect that I won't call a decent sized bet if I've been doing it throughout the hand.

Maybe he's betting small to induce a bluff, but on the 1st hand with no prior history, I can't see him expecting to see aggression from me.

I don't know. Does any of this make sense. Just trying to spark some discussion.
