One could argue that I could have just called pre but dunno, the way it was played i couldnt have really checked any streets except flop cause he would have known that he is ahead. I dont like the river pot that much, although i put him on AK/Q, QQ. Could have went for 1/3 on river.

I expected him to raise his bare straights on flop which wasnt my concern anyway cause i block them. Seems like a thin value attempt gone bad :<, although it wasnt that thin

What bluffs do you have on the river? Why do you think he's calling you with QQ or even AK (which you block)?
Why pot flop? I'd rarely do it in a single raised pot and it doesn't seem better to do it with a stronger range.

Why do you think he just shoves it in with JT and no redraws on flop?

This basically means "if I check JT isn't in my range", also it's hard to argue you shouldn't do X because he will do Y when he did Y anyway.

Yeah I don't think the river shove is thin at all.

Don't bet so much on each street as you are only beating QQ here and losing to JTxx and AA. The non 4 bet from villain is odd given he is < 100 bb which usually means he has to have a stronger hand to call you on each street.

Bet/bet/bet is completely standard here, though usually you can get more calls with lesser sizing. People will shove their JT on either flop or turn to protect from draws probably close to 95% of the time, and people are 4betting aces pre closer to 100% than 99%.

I would play my Nut Flush Draws which contain a J the same way. So probably i have to shove this board with KKJ. Just an unfortunate situation i guess.
