1/2 NL live nut straight sees river pair

[AlienBoy]

Live 1/2 at Hustler (50-100 buy in)

Villain is on my left - pretty new to the game. Knows the basics, is friendly, but appears to lack in depth knowledge. Play is fairly weak and passive.

My image is tight/strong.


Relevant Stacks:

Hero: $150 (having just suffered a series of suck outs)
Villain: 80 ish. in CO.

Hero is in hijack with QT

A few limpers, Hero makes a small raise to 6 (might have been 8) (for variety - my raises in this game are usually 10 to 15 - but this is a weak starting hand, and I'm playing it for variation purposes).


Villain calls, all limpers fold.


FLOP: 9 6 J rainbow.

Pot: About $15

Hero semi bluffs out with $12. Villain calls.


Turn: 8

Hero checks, Villain bets $10. Hero raises to $30 (I'm wondering if I should have just pushed here, but I'm thinking I want a call and I think $30 is the max he'll go)

Villain thinks for awhile and calls.

RIVER: J

Hero?


If hero checks, and villain pushes all in for his last $30, then hero?
