I would bet more on the turn and fold the river without a read. He would have to be a [censored] idiot to do that without a J.

He could have played JJ, AJ, AA... The way you played seems ok but a bet on the river would have been perhaps better.

When you check like I did, and villain shoves, doubt creeps into your mind: "Did he do that because I checked?" If you block (1/2 pot?) and he shoves: easy fold. Also you get value from TPTK/2pair hands that might check behind. |

Hmmm. Whenever I start a thread the views to replies ratio is always like 20:1. And half the replies are mine
Note to self: Post more interesting hands with more boring titles |

River is a tough spot. A blocker, check/fold and even check/call (need a read) are all viable options. Add to that the fact that everyone has trouble with 4 straight and 4 flush boards and you get a lot of views and few posts. Don't be discouraged, you did not make any huge or fundamental mistakes here. |
