Call.

But why did you slow down on the river? I would still bet ~200 again on the river to do pot control if you know he's going to bet anyway.

I like the check/call on the river, both because we only got mediumstrength showdownvalue and can't stand the heat from a raise, and to induce a potential bluff from a missed draw.

Also alot of players on this level like to donk out their nutdraws, so OP's line could easily look like a missed draw for a "thinking player" at this level (rare???).

c/c riv I guess but I kinda think you're behind. I would probably have c/c flop. Pot seems too big for lvl1 w/ your hand, I take a passive line here throughout the hand. c/c flop and c/f turn would be my standard line, maybe that's more suited to higher BIs.

I'd probably c/c turn or bet a little less. Then I can check and call a small bet on the river. That way, I pick off the busted draws, and don't lose too much to KJ. I could fold turn if the bet looked strong.
