I have a feeling I could have played this hand better but I would love to hear input from others. My logic was that there weren't too many Jacks in villains 3-betting range except for KJ and AJ, and I block several combinations of KJ. While it was possible for him to have overpairs, after his check on the turn I felt that those weren't too likely as well. Thus when the river came mostly blank and he led, I believed that I could get him to fold any hand that didn't at least have a Jack in it. I also think my line also looks believable for a slow-played overpair who wanted to play the hand in-position. Anyways, please let me know what you think!
