Villain checks. Very tempted to shove here but given the possible straights out there I don't think villain is calling just an ace too often. When the jack fell I bet fairly big since it definitely improved his range and likely either gave him two pair or gave him a straight draw with his pair or flush draw if not already giving him a straight. The turn call and river check convinced me that I should be good the vast majority of the time. Shove? Also should I not have gone bigger on the turn? Maybe $150. Vs a guy in his 40s giving off a rec vibe I don't need to care about balance and it'll make the river less than pot instead of pot.
