Only reason I thought of folding was because the villain was playing tight and only raising with premium or made hands.

What are you ever ahead of? AQ probably 3bets pre against a button steal, everything else crushes you.

I figured he could have been defending his blind with any Qx suited. Hit trips and wants to bet it big to avoid draws on the river. Only thing that beat me on the turn would have been a Fullhouse... which he had. People always say "dont fear monsters under the bed" ie dont always assume your opponent has the nuts if you have 2nd nuts.

I probably check the turn and see what develops. As played I think you fold on the river. At absolute best, you chop the pot. Flush gets there, and so do boats. I think it's hard for BB to have JJ+ since he just flats pre, but you are really not ahead of anything. At best, you are chopping. The turn bet should be smaller, and because of the sizing you let the villain commit YOU to the pot.

The turn call is fine, but I think you should fold river and just call with flushes or better. If the BDFD hadn't got there it's much closer, but in a way that river card should make it easier to get away from your hand, since a straight is quite a distance from the nuts on that board, and villain usually has exactly what he's repping (a boat).

I'm probably playing that the same. But I'm a station so eh
