Well I figured he must hold a medium pocket pair, thats why i checkt the turn + I wanted to induce a bluff/ bet with TT / 99 / 88.
I bet river for value and called raise because the only hand that beats me and makes sense consider turn play is JJ.

How do you think about the hand ?

Well played, I think he can play AA or 22/77/44 like this too though, but you can't fold getting almost 5-1 on the river.

I'd probably lead the river slightly bigger, but no biggie.

There is no reason to check the turn in a re-raised pot, you want him to stack off with his range, which he can and will do if you bet.

I'd bet less than $100 to make it appear he's got fold-equity.

You're getting 5:1 on the river you've got to call.

edit: I don't like the river bet, it's too thin, what do you expect him to call / bluff with? This would be better on a Ten high board where he can think JJ is the nuts.
