The only hands I think you're beating are AJ and KJ. KJ makes some sense given the river. A flush is possible but not likely. The only likely hand that beats you IMO is 55. This is a reluctant call in my book.

well, you do have two pair, so you kind of improved. you beat KJ anyway.

any reads on his postflop tendencies? against a lot of players i'll check the river.

I usually end up calling but I prefer check calling the river for a smaller amount.

check calling might be your best line here because he cannot push if he has the nut and he would like to get some value out of his hand so betting about 2/3 of the pot will get you to call. You lose the least and get some value out of your hand this way right??
