i felt pretty good about flop/turn, but could i have played it different to avoid this problem?

after looking at it some more i think river is a push, but i guess my question remains about earlier streets

i def push river, rest seems fine

i'd raise a little more on the turn, maybe to 500

and i'd push river.

he either has 22/JJ or he doesn't.

i sometimes donk turn for like 170ish or about that. c/r is fine too. i would shove the river since i assume he 3-bets jj pf and now there is only 1 combo of 66 and 3 combos of 22. i think a donk min-raising this flop can have more than those hands, maybe a lower flush or Jx. with sightly less than half pot i don't think it's too close but i could possibly be convinced otherwise. if u guys were deeper i would probably check.

WHATS THE QUESTION

I can't imagine anything but push on the river you only have like 1/2 pot,

i definitely like leading on the turn for about $125. This allows a smaller flush to raise you, where you can then shove. Doing this also lets you lose less on the river if he calls the $125 and the board pairs, where you can then lead again and if he raises huge you can safely fold.

if u had lead turn u could c/f or b/f river... but i dont think ud want to... (dont u think this looks like QdJd type hand as much or moreso than a set?)
