10NL Made straight on the river facing an all in reraise.

[Clover78]

No reads on villian, only played a few hands. Comments on all streets appreciated but I guess the real question is should I have value bet the river, and when facing the river reraise is this a call?

Easy call. Cooler if you're beat, you have the nut straight.

[Clover78]

It didn't take me long to call at the time, but I found it hard to put him on a hand from the flop and turn action. Apart from him having trips I didn't really know what hands he would make this raise that I beat?

[n4rf]

You will see Jx many times here, enough to make this call. If he filled up, there's really nothing you can do. At this level I just can't see myself folding this, and probably never will.

Am I the only one who feels this way?

[Clover78]

I think making this call was +ev so I agree with you n4rf, just on here to see if people think it's a leak?

On the river you should be thinking, "How can I get as much of his money in the pot that I can."

He did your work for you. Be happy.

I assume you lost though, so suck it up, you played this perfectly, and he played his JT, J5 or J8 horribly.

Edit: added italicized part

Thanks for the input folks, sometimes you just need to confirm with a few others that you made the right play even when you are 95% sure you did.

[akak]

Think of it this way. All you know for sure is that he has a Jack. Tons of players at this level are more than happy to put all of their money in the pot with J2 here. Against J2+ you win 72% of the time. Shovel your money in.

Which one did he have? JT?

[Clover78]

He did end up having J10, in my mind I had to raise the river bet for value, and the call is still reasonable, I agree that this can be done by any J at this level.

you have the nut str8 and at this level many trip jack + kicker combos will do this. played fine IMO
