very meh on all streets.

i don' really see what you possibly beat on the river against a decent villain even despite the turn check. well actually you beat worse jacks.

I think raising is ok. If he reraises your done, but if you just call 2/3 pot bets the whole way you could be dead to AA, KK, QQ, JJ and lose a lot of money, I like your turn check. Slowing down makes sense after he called your raise, you have to be kind of scared.

WT, he's most likely talking about the size of the raise incase you didn't notice it's very small.

I think the flop raise is fine, as is the turn check and river call.

Only street that I dont dig is preflop.

And if he checks river I would bet like 2/3-3/4 pot.

Good line, but without a read it just seems like villian is betting for value with an over pair on river.

How about pot-sized raise on the flop, check the turn, go with your read on the river. The small flop raise does not provide enough info about villian's holdings. As played, I think you have to call the river.

Ummm, hero rasied a fairly drawless flop and villian called. So Villian has something. If there wasn't the flop raise and call, I'd agree with calling the river. But I'd bet the villian has over pair here more than 65% of the time, so a fold is more appropriate.

What's villian trying to get hero to fold, a 6?
