Yes. I actually like the river because it counterfeits his two pairs. Too bad if he was betting QJ [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]

EDIT: I liked the river call. Why are you not raising flop?

Why are you not raising flop?
As played, why are you not raising turn?

No draws on the flop, he has max 5 outs with Jx, 45, Ax, and he would prob fire turn again, or call a turn bet, but not call a flop raise?!

Overall, too passive?

This is fine and pretty standard. I don't really like a flop raise, but I probably raise turn 2.5x for value. Obviously, I fold to a 3-bet.

Even though villain prob has JJJ (why you posted), I would raise the riv small for value if I didn't raise the turn, but I am a value bet whore.

Raise flop to 22. Raise turn to 55. Once we get there, river call is fine.

One of these streets you can raise for value. Raise folding the turn works.

love raising turn here... JcQc is a pretty viable hand that you will get a call from on that turn
