I try some FPS which seems to lead nowhere

live 2/5

first of all, there's sort of a setup hand. except it was against someone else. but this dude was at the table, so he must have seen it. it was maybe 30 minutes ago? no clue if he remembers it or anything, but there's a good chance that he would... maybe? anyway, might be best to start with my image

I had a pretty snug image at this table and decided it was the right time to spend some of my bluffing equity when the BB led out on a T42 board with two hearts. I had limped with Ad5d so I have a gutter, overcard, and a backdoor flush draw. I raise because they'll put me on a set and fold a whole lot of the time, and I have some backup outs. Shortstack moves in for just a bit more, BB calls, and I have to call too. I spike my black 3 on the turn and BB calls my push with Th3h and gets there. My play on the flop was viewed by the table as being shockingly unsound, cuz these live morans don't even understand the concept of making moves and picking up pots when no one has a big hand. After that I sorta botched a 77 hand and ended up all in on a 9x8h6h flop against a guy who had raised preflop with Th9h. Ugh dead outs.

So at this point my image is like sorta bad. I did win a decent pot with KK but then lost one too. I'm stuck a lot now. The only really big hand I've shown was actually one where I slowplayed the flop on the button (checked to me, had the deck badly crippled). So yeah, I'm not looking so good.

I waited a while to rebuild my bluffing equity before trying to steal anymore pots, and then I found a good spot for one, which is the setup hand.

Some dude opened in LP and he was capable of making just pure steals there. He once had 62o, but his stealing frequency was much lower than what that hand would indicate. We can call him a poor TAG perhaps. I called from the BB and a JTx flop went check-check. Another J came on the turn and I checked, he bet $30, I raised to $90 and he folded. I did not show.

Now we're finally at the hand in question, like 30 minutes later.

Folded to me in mid-late position and I open for $20 with AJo. I'm called by the button, who is a tight passive player. He's sorta shortstacked, like $250-300.

The flop is QJx rainbow and I don't really see any benefit to betting the flop, or any drawback to checking, so I check. He checks too.

The turn is another J, and I check again, he bets $20, and I raise to $60. He calls after about 10 seconds of thought.

The river is a K. Now I don't know what to do cuz that card makes it harder for him to call with a bluff-catcher (this may not make a lot of sense, but he is not an expert hand reader) and also because the only jack I beat now basically is JT. He only has a bit more than the size of the pot left. I check, intending to call. [img]/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img]
