Default JJ river decision ($100r)

How is my turn check?
Call or fold river?

I'm not sure about the turn check, but I think you have to call river given you did.

i think turn check is fine, but bet/calling is fine as well. in fact bet/calling is probably better if you bet smallish to try to get a shove from a draw (2400?).

river seems like an easy call, there are plenty of Tx dd he can have here, not to mention a lot of people (im assuming this is an unknown because you didnt mention anything) will bet here with one low pair because they put you on AK. which obviously doesn't make sense, but happens nonetheless.

meh, I don't think you're good here nearly as often as others seem to imply but against an unknown I'm calling because sometimes they have something weird (edit: because everyone sucks at basic river concepts).

i think most times someone check/shoves the turn they'll have like air or a draw, but sometimes they might check/call with a worse hand, setting up a bigger river bet for you (maybe a shove? i got kinda high and dont feel like looking back at the numbers). but thats what i was thinking at the time. i do understand what youre saying though, and maybe checking the turn is better.
