Default Trips mid kicker line check

Stars 50+5 50k guarantee. Should i be pushing this harder or was i right to cool it a little considering it seems probable someone else has a J and very likely their kicker is better than mine.

I'm not folding this river. (edit: not to say we're ahead that often, but we do chop a lot/win once in a while and the pot odds are pretty good.)

Once in a while, though, I fold the flop (and feel good when I do.)

My first thought was that I'm not folding this river but then I realized that the diamond draw got there as well on the river. CO's line looks like a draw, w/ flush draw being more likley than Tx imo. Also given the fact that UTG is still betting even though an obv scare card hit if he got Jx that didn't fill up is enough of a reason for me to think that your straight is not good often enough here call, so I like the fold.

I think you have to call, way too good of pot odds to lay this one down.

how can we be chopping and still the other guy has a J? (edit: assuming there arent T's in CO's range that arent JT.. )

If the second guy has bene calling w/ a J, then the other guy can't have one, and must have diamonds, QT, or 999.

I would raise the flop and call the river, its a 50$ donkament. Analysis of what rational opponents would do is irrelevant this early.
