Default KJo 6-max UTG raise.

PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t20 (6 handed) Hand History Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com (Format: 2+2 Forums)

Hero (t1490)
CO (t1980)
Button (t3840)
SB (t2090)
BB (t1460)
UTG (t1570)

Preflop: Hero is MP with K[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], J[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img].
<font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Hero raises to t60</font>, <font color="#666666">3 folds</font>, BB calls t40.

Flop: (t130) J[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], 4[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], 9[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>
BB checks, <font color="#CC3333">Hero bets t100</font>, BB calls t100.

Turn: (t330) 2[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>
BB checks, <font color="#CC3333">Hero bets t200</font>, BB calls t200.

River: (t730) 6[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>
BB checks, Hero checks.

Final Pot: t730


Checked river thinking he was on a draw and if I got called there was a chance I was behind. Looking back I think that was bad. How often am I going to get paid off on the river here with hands that I'm beating? JT, QJ, J9, etc paying me off here, right? Bad move? Should I value bet or overbet for value here?

I think this is a good spot to value bet. From the BB, hands like QJ/JT and maybe even T9/98 are paying off a small river bet.

I think overbetting will only get better hands to call and worse hands to fold, but you might be able to pick up a few more chips from a hand you beat with a bet in the 300ish range.

definitely bet the river, like 400. smaller jacks, strong 9's, and sometimes stuff like 88 and 77 are all calling.

Also, since he checked the river he probably isn't slowplaying a set or something since most low limit players don't try to cr rivers.
